It is dark now, but that seems like about where the jack points are for changing tires with the regular tire jack. Am I visualizing the location correctly?
Again Thanks for the help, Seemed like a straight forward method to start. Now know why the Volvo dealership booked this repair at about $700.
Still several ahead yet, but daughter wants the car back and you know teens. Can't happen fast enough for her.

OK, all was going pretty well.....
Had the sub-frame dropped far enough to remove the oil cover replaced the first solenoid and was working on the other one when I dropped the tiny screw that holds the solenoid in place. Anybody have access to a parts book to see what size and thread this thing is? I can tell you that it is a 8mm head.
Thanks for everything so far,

The one that holds the other solenoid on is about 1-1/2" long. The one I dropped is about 3/8". Just going to go to the hardware store and get a selection of whatever is metric with a 8mm head and see what fits. I found a metric fastener spec on the web this afternoon and it appears that a hex bolt with an 8mm head will be an M5 so I just have to find one the right length.
Crossing my fingers that it is that simple,

SUCCESS!!
Got everything buttoned up this afternoon and took the car for a test drive (~10 miles). Transmission is working fine. Upshift light is still flashing, but I think it should go off after some period of time unless other errors are being generated. Job would have been much quicker and easier if I would have planned for it and dropped the subframe from the beginning.
Anyway, thanks for tolerating all my ignorance.
