The transmission was toast 214K miles.
Replacing the sensors is about as hard as an easy spark plug replacement.
I know... those sensors and solenoids are cheap and externally mounted too! I'll get them replaced before this spring.
Also I've ordered the external inline filter from WIX:

The filter just takes a 24mm open ended wrench and two 10mm bolts to undo, after taking the air intake hose, battery tray, and maybe also the plastic engine cover off to access it...
