I don't know what the codes mean, but maybe you should check the fluid. Only use Genuine Honda ATF in there.

If the fluid is good, you might need a torque converter. Lucky for you it is a Honda, so pull it back to 2nd when you need to get rolling. Just remember to put it in drive on time. I had to do that on my first ever Honda: a 1984 Accord. It worked for about a year, then I bought a Prelude and sold the 84 Accord for cheap.

No, it's not a fluid problem, no, it's not a torque converter problem. P0730 points specifically to your clutch pressure system. You can either get a FSM and follow the procedure for diagnosing and fixing it, or you can give me some time to find mine and find the procedure.

The solenoids are part of the clutch pressure system, yes.
