So i have a 2000 sle, its approaching 190,000 miles. I am pretty sure it has the solenoid problem from occasional harsh shifts at low speeds, even with good fluid and filter.

Well recently things have gotten worse, its seems like any time I take off or accelerate in turn one wheel (always the same wheel) squeals (burns rubber). Now I just put in pretty much an entirely new suspension, new struts, control arms, sway bar links. My tires are good, and its always the same tire. Could this be a differential problem, it also is starting to slightly shake if accelerating hard while turning. I am also getting a little bit of shuddering when the torque converter re-engages after stopping.

I guess if the transmission is going ... is it maybe time to cut my losses and get rid of it? It has electrical problems as well, rear windows/locks don't work, and abs and traction control issues due to wiring. Its hard to sell these things for very much unfortunately, i have a second vehicle it just gets bad gas mileage so I suppose if this fails I will be okay for a while.

Advice appreciated!

It's always the same wheel, no matter what way you are turning?

Its almost always the passenger tire, unless i am in slippery conditions, but yes no matter which way I am turning.
