Well, I finally got down to testing the van some more. I cut the connector and completely disconnect the transmission's computer, and wired it so that I could manually select the gear the transmission should be.
Only problem is, it didn't work!!! I couldn't engage 1st, 3rd or 4th. 2nd is always engaged by default. I have been able to engage 1st prior to this, so it seemed unlikely that the transmission had randomly lost 1st gear (which was always strong and quick to engage).
So I disconnected the solenoid pack, and sure enough 3 of the 4 solenoids inside aren't working. One is stuck solid, the other two are sort of stuck, the remaining one works half the time. Basically, they are clogged up.
All I need to do now is find another solenoid pack that works, and the van will be on its way to recovery. I also need to replace the wiring harness that I cut up... or repair it, lol.

I'm sorry it didn't work
