I don't get it

I replaced two solenoids in a4r55e transmission. Now it won't drive. Or is having shifting problems. Plus the OD light keeps flashing. I unplugged the battery to reset the comp. But still not helping.

why did you replace the solenoids ? Is the problem better or worse now ? Did you get a code on the dash light ?

Is it possible you have the connectors to the solenoids swapped? If the designers were smart, this shouldn't be possible but I've heard of it happening with O2 sensors (and that shouldn't be possible either).
