How do you change shift solenoid for a 1990 Toyota Camry?

The Camry in 1990 doesnt have a shift solenoid. It was controled by a hydraulic shift governor inside the transmission. So the trans. has to come out and be opened up.

I am going to give you the information for a 4.0L, if you have the 4.7L V8 let me know and I will send that informationThis is a fairly easy repair, when I do this I replace the governor pressure sensor and the transducer, that way you wont have to go back in if the other fails, you should also replace the filter while the pan is offHoist and support vehicle on safety stands.Place a large diameter shallow drain pan beneath the transmission pan.Remove bolts holding front and sides of pan to transmissionLoosen bolts holding rear of pan to transmission.Slowly separate front of pan and gasket away from transmission allowing the fluid to drain into drain pan.Hold up pan and remove remaining bolt holding pan to transmission.While holding pan level, lower pan and gasket away from transmission.Pour remaining fluid in pan into drain pan.Remove screws holding filter to valve bodySeparate filter from valve body and pour fluid in filter into drain pan.Dispose of used trans fluid and filter properly.Disengage wire connectors from pressure sensor and solenoidRemove screws holding pressure solenoid retainer to governor body.Separate solenoid retainer from governorPull solenoid from governor bodyPull pressure sensor from governor body.Remove bolts holding governor body to valve body.Separate governor body from valve bodyRemove governor body gasket.Before installing the pressure sensor and solenoid in the governor body, replace o-ring seals, clean the gasket surfaces and replace gasket.Place gasket in position on back of governor bodyPlace governor body in position on valve body.Install bolts to hold governor body to valve body.Lubricate o-ring on pressure sensor with transmission fluid.Align pressure sensor to bore in governor body.Push pressure sensor into governor body.Lubricate o-ring, on pressure solenoid, with transmission fluid.Align pressure solenoid to bore in governor bodyPush solenoid into governor body.Place solenoid retainer in position on governorInstall screws to hold pressure solenoid retainer to governor body.Engage wire connectors into pressure sensor and solenoidInstall transmission fluid pan and (new) filter.Lower vehicle and road test to verify repair.Parts should run right around $260.00 plus 2.0 hours labor

Shift points are controlled by the engine computers activation of a governor pressure solenoid. The governor pressure activates valves in the transmission that switch gears.
