The Sonnax Zip kit doesn't include the solenoids. If you want to change out the solenoids then you're going to have to pony-up about $700 for the parts and fluid.

The guibo is not internal to the transmission. It is a rubber flex disc that mounts between the driveshaft and the output flange of the transmission. It is easily serviceable without 'overhauling' anything. If you have the car on a lift, this is a 30 minute job at the most, no solenoid replacement or transmission overhaul required

If one has failed, you can bet good money on the rest of them failing pretty soon too. I would never advocate replacing just one. It takes too much work to get to them to not replace them as an entire set. Why risk having to do the work twice, or worse having a solenoid fail and wipe out your transmission?
