Good morning.

Solenoids control shifting, not gear engagement. That is mechanical.

If you have a lack of engagement, it could be:

1. Clogged transmission filter

2. Low fluid

3. Torque converter failure

4. Front pump that has failed.

They are shift solenoids for going from 1 to 2 and 2 to 3.

There is no solenoid for going into gear at all. That is mechanical.
