These service advisors and techs dont see enough of these cars and issues to be very knowledgable with them, that is usually why they either shotgun the problem and throw parts at it, or consider it normal to get you out the door.

There are good techs out there, they are rare.

Trans fluid is to be changed at 4 yrs or 40K miles, whichever comes first..

Mercedes benz of manhattan, failed to change my brothers rear diff oil at the 2,000 mile break in interval when it was brought into service... they told me its the customers responsiblity to pay and ask for certain maintenance items to be done. Lol. There is no winning with them.

You seem to be on the right track for sure. I would say solenoids must be next as you mentioned for sure.
