Default what next? iwe(s) still engaged

so ive changed both iwe's along with the solenoid and im still getting a click when coming to a stop intermittently.

is a check valve most likely not seating? when i pull both lines off of the iwe solenoid i can hear built up vacuum release.

Maybe the lines between the solenoid and the IWEs are clogged.

Just because you can hear vacuum release doesnt mean its holding good vacuum. Go get a vacuum tester and test your iwe's by themselves, then lines seperately as well. Most parts stores will let you borrow one with a fully refundable deposit.

These things are the biggest pains in the rear ever. I replaced everything, iwe's, solonoid, and lines. I still get a chatter every once in a while. Especially when the transmission kicks down a gear. I noticed it does it especially around 2500 RPMs. I hope you have better luck than I did. I just came the the point to live with it.
