Most 2003 and up cars can benefit from refurbished/new solenoids if the transmission is hard shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear or banging from 2nd to 1st gear. For the 2001-2002 models, the transmission was more fragile and replacing the solenoids may not fix it. This is same procedure for Volvo and Nissan models using the 5 speed automatic Aisin transmission AW55-50. While solenoids can be purchased new from Ebay, they must be adjusted properly each one individually. New bushings can also be installed on old solenoids and it's perhaps the best and cheapest option out there. If the transmission still shifts a little hard with new solenoids, either they are not properly adjusted, either the transmission would benefit from adaptation mode using Vida/Dice. The best is just to measure on each original solenoid how much is adjusted then mark it down to reuse it if the solenoid is opened or replaced wit a new one.
If the pan bolts are stuck, it absolutely takes a 'good' rotary tool grinder.

A 1/4" ratchet and 1/4" torx sockets are easier to use on the pan bolts.
It is Critical when loosening a pan bolt to have the socket perpendicular on the bolt, with good pressure pushing down along the bolt axis: go very slow and don't keep turning the ratchet if the bolt doesn't move.
