Transmission Trouble

I have been having some inconsistency with my transmission in my 2005 F350. I bought it used 2 months ago and have had the low/tow overdrive light blinking. a month ago I removed the pan and changed the filter in the transmission. I had a friend run the diagnostic test and found transmission solenoid code as well as both cat. converters (California) as well as my Number 8 cylinder misfiring... I pulled the transmission pan and filter to find what appears to be 7 solenoids??? The cost for 1 solenoid was $129.... any advice on where to start?

The place to start is with the engine problems. Fixing the engine problems often fixes the transmission problems.

And you need to change the remote transmission filter near the radiator. The one in the pan is a lifetime filter.
