Code P0761 - shift solenoid C

My '98 Explorer had this code, which prompted me to take it to a transmission shop. I picked it up this evening and before I got a couple of miles I noticed the check engine light was on. Just in case the shop hadn't cleared the code, I stopped at a parts store, pulled it and had P0761 again. I cleared the code and before I got home the O/D light started flashing, which it had done before I had the trans worked on.

The transmission shop had changed the "shift solenoid" and "TCC solenoid". Now what?

Thanks.

Most likely you have a problem with the wiring or a connector to shift solenoid C. The code does not mean the solenoid is bad, it means something in the circuit is bad. That can be a wire, a connector, or the solenoid.
