Default Yet another transmission question

It's 1:47 am.. I'm beat.. So here is the short of it.. I have a 2003 Honda accord ex coupe at.. Lost third gear.. went to the parts place.. they said it has something to do with the Solenoids and sold me shift solenoid "B" having been told that it controls third gear.. still no third gear.. so i get wise and borrow a code reader and hook the car up...I'm popping P0752 and p0747 codes... Now P0752 is "shift solenoid A circuit stuck on" and p0747 is "pres CTRL sol. A circuit stuck on" now my question is.. Do both these codes reference the same faulty part.. Or do they reflect two individual parts.. And does anyone have a photo reference or well drawn diagram for where shift solenoid A is located on the transmission.. (And I have already changed the transmission fluid out with the correct special ATF fluid)

Any ideas?

V6 or 4 cylinder Accord ? I am not a trans guy but based on past post for those codes the solenoid needs to be cleaned and may get clogged again with Debris from transmission wear. I know the V6 Accord trans had lots of failures and Honda did a warranty adjustment for some years. Someone with more experience will be joining in the discussion soon I am sure.

We have always told people to get the actual error code number, not just the guy's explanation. Maybe too late to go back to the first place & argue about the wrong diagnosis??

Look at my first post... And the definitions beside the codes were the ones the actual code reader displayed

I'm only out 60 bucks for shift solenoid b so far... And I know now that it is new and apparently not the problem.... What was it that Thomas Edison said about developing the incandescent light bulb? Now I know one way to not solve my problem

And to save me the comments and regurgitated grief.. Yes.. I am aware honda did recalls and service repairs to address this problem.. No.. I got the car past the (your screwed) date to get the repairs done... And up until this I didn't so much as have a single check engine light or mechanical problem... I maintained the car with regular fluid and filter changes.. And up until just recently have had it taken in and refitted for every factory recall since I purchased it...

DTC P0747: A/T Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid Valve A Stuck ON
DTC P0752: Shift Solenoid Valve A Stuck ON

They are different solenoid valves.

Isn't P0752 and p0747 the codes in the Op's post ?
