Default Transmission shift solenoid repair?

I have a 2002 dodge Ram 1500 quad cab 360. I was told i have a short in the shift solenoid, how hard is it to get to the solenoid to repair the wire?

Its easy. drop the pan and drop the valve body. Then the solenoid and wires are right there.

You can get a full service manual from weedahoe with the step by steps

a short in a shift solenoid means you have to replace the whole solenoid pack. there are no serviceable parts on/in it.
