Been running these solenoids for 4 years now and no issues! 10/10 recommend :cool::beer:
 
Just an update since prices have gone up significantly on the individual D series solenoids for the AW450-43LE. Rostra 52-9033 is all 4 solenoids with proper brackets. Found for $107 new including free shipping on ebay. Rockauto has it for $90, but gotta pay for shipping.
 
I just ordered all 4 solenoids for around $200 USD from Cobra Transmissions website. If you are a first time buyer you can even sign up for email to get a code for an additional 10% off.

 
Yep, I saw those too for $219.99. I ended up going Rockauto on the parts number i listed above, as with tax and shipping, it was slightly less than eBay. $110 for all 4 with 2 day shipping.

Sweet deal!

I had a bad experience with Rock Auto with them sending me incorrect Denso TPMS sensors that they wouldn't do a return on that cost me a couple of hundred bucks, so I avoid them now. For that much savings, it sure is tempting!

Ebay has them for $107 with free shipping, about $117 after tax.
 
I got all mine from amayama $48.5 shipped. Just don't be in a hurry. I though i would just be replacing them to prevent issues in the future. turns out one of the old solenoids was completely bad (untested junkyard transmission)
 
I went to my standby Rockauto. About twice the price they were 6 years ago.
Sorry, I think I misunderstood. Sounds like you got them when they were like $8 a piece. Nice!
 
$90 total for all 4

I'm looking at these now.

The RockAuto info page looks like a set of 4 identical solenoids, with just the brackets being different.

Are they confirmed stamped/identifiable as 3 different solenoids for the 4 positions?

All 4 solenoids are the same, with 3 different bracket styles. The toyota branded ones, the brackets are not removable, but there's nothing different about the actual solenoids, just the brackets.

These, the brackets are separate, and the solenoids sit inside and it all locks in when bolted in. I installed to Rostra kit, fixed my issues and fit was perfect for all 4.

I got these Rostra 52-9033 but have a hard time understanding how all 4 can be the same. The factory test procedure shows the 1,2, and timing solenoids being normally closed and the lockup solenoid normally open. All four of my Rostra solenoids are acting normally open, passing air with no voltage applied. One of them is marked with a different number but they are all acting the same. Anyone else have any insight on these?

i wouldn't touch them personally. how much cheaper are they then genuine isuzu? $20?
 
Well I wasn’t trusting the Rostra solenoids, dropped $200 on a set of the cobra solenoids. They got here super quick, came in Isuzu boxes, marked made in Japan and……… they do the same thing. I can easily blow through all 4 without being energized. Maybe I’m misinterpreting that factory check procedure above but I sure don’t think so. I guess I will know when I get them installed this week.
