Were is the shift solenoid on a 1997 Chrysler Cirrus?

The shift solenoid on a 1997 Chrysler Cirrus isn't a single, easily accessible component like a solenoid on a simpler system. The Cirrus uses an automatic transmission, and those solenoids are *inside* the transmission itself. There isn't one single "shift solenoid"; there are multiple solenoids within the valve body of the transmission that control various aspects of shifting.

To access them, you would need to remove the transmission. This is a significant undertaking requiring specialized tools and knowledge of automatic transmission repair. It's not a job for a novice mechanic.

If you're experiencing shifting problems, it's best to take your vehicle to a qualified transmission specialist or mechanic. They can diagnose the problem correctly and determine if a solenoid (or other transmission component) needs replacement. Trying to locate and replace them yourself without experience is highly discouraged.
