For the NA market the item is #006 on the parts diagram (link below): SOLENOID ASSY.B Part# 28260-RPC-004

https://www.bernardiparts.com/Honda/...assembly=13640

Check a local Canadian dealership website to confirm the part number. It should be the same (?).
Go through the diagnostics to make sure it needs replacing *before* purchasing any replacement.
Then calmly search online as dealer prices (if the part is available) are beyond eye-wateringly astronomical Found a couple on eBay.

thanks for all your help, i think removing the part and testing it with a 12 volt meter would be best, before changing the solenoid..

if i go to the scrap yard to get a oem part do you know what year cars will fit my 2008 honda fit.

No sealer. See page 14-221. Just be sure to torque the 6 bolts to spec 12 Nm, 8.7 Lb-ft (criss-cross & incrementally). Clean mounting surface etc. as outlined in steps 5-9.

For the NA market the damaged item is #008 on the parts diagram: WIRE HARNESS, SOLENOID Part# 28360-RMM-003. Available on ebay for approx. $72.

If you're handy with a soldering iron you can also find the individual 2-write plugs on ebay.
Search for "Automatic Transmission Control Solenoid Connector Standard S2931". Compare pin layout to yours etc.
Or search for "Honda ACURA Transmission Dual Linear Solenoid Connector WIRE REPAIR KIT 350-0146".
In either case be sure to use the option to "Check fitment" as a sanity check.

the new part has a black and red wire, the old part is black and blue wire, so does black go to black still?

Do one plug at a time and set them down side by side preserving their orientation (i.e. connector toward you, wires on the backside, flat side of the plug with the tab down). Label them if you have to. Chances are better than good that the black wire is in the same position for both plugs.
