The car is a '93 Cavalier, 3.1L V6, 3-speed auto with lock-up converter.
Found a 4-wire plug unhooked on the transmission, plugged it in, now torque converter doesn't want to unlock. Called auto parts, got TCC solenoid, doesn't fit. Original part only has bracket and mounting hole on right side. All aftermarket ones have brackets on left and right, so won't fit.
For clarification, this is the solenoid mounted inside the side cover on the transmission, behind the left front wheel. No other transmission solenoids are available, according to the parts store.
There is no OEM number on the original solenoid. How do I determine the correct part number? Surely this can't be a dealer only item?
Suggestions are appreciated.
Thank you,
Anthony
