Answer
Mike,

Sounds like a different transmission shop is in order.  A shop that has a Nissan scanner for transmissions will be a benefit to read codes.  If the original transmission guy says number 1 solenoid then I would start from there.  Probably nothing you did but just an old transmission.   Now if wires were shorted you might be looking at making sure nothing is touching and the grounds are in place.
