the solenoid can be accessed from inside the car once the tunnel is taken
off. You really can't do it from underneath. It would sit right next to
the drivers knee, right in front of the tranny mount.

Thanks for the speedy reply Joe - Can the solenoid be accessed from in
the car or under the car? Left side or right side? I'm digging into my
Haynes manual tonight, any other insights would be welcome.
Thanks
