Do the solenoids affect the transmission?

Some of them do, if that's their function. Solenoids are electric switches. A small amount of current to the coil causes the electric switch to be able to conduct a large amount of current. One application for a solenoid in a transmission is to engage the "lockup" torque converter.

How do you get a automatic 18 wheeler to shift out of gear?

You would need to specify which transmission you have. On the older autoshifts with the clutch pedal, you could override the automatic function to get it to downshift manually, but you couldn't override it on the upshift. Some of the modern clutch free automatics have a feature which allows you to do this.
