01 Dakota Trans Code

I've got a code P0700 which by itself means check the TCM for the real
code from what I understand. My truck will let out a "clunk" from the
drivelive occasionally, and then refuse to downshift. It started @
Carlisle this last year when I got off the Turnpike. It would not
downshift on it's own and even tried to start out in 3rd @ the first
light. If I manually shift it, the truck moves down the road fine. If
I turn it off and turn it back on, the problem is reset. I was told
that it's a solenoid in the trans that's going bad, but I don't
remember what it was called & I'm told the cost of the part is ~$350.
Anyone know the name of this thing so I can track it down? The truck
is an 01 Dakota SLT CC 4.7L, Auto, 2WD.

Thanks in advance

Bill M
