Default Transmission control solenoid

How do u check if the transmission control solenoids are bad? It feels like my transmission is slipping and/or shifting hard in certain gears. I have a 1994 Honda Accord EX.

It is just two terminals, so attach jumper wires from the + and - from your battery and you will hear them click. If they do not click sharply, you have a problem.

I already took both solenoids off. So does that matter, can I test them that way or do i need to put them back on??

It is actually better to test them off the tranny. Clean them out good with some brake cleaner, then test. Make sure you also clean the screens good in the gaskets/orings.
