What is your question?
At first my obd reader was telling that my intake manifold runner control was stuck open. Which you could hear when driving and it wouldn't shift. So I bought a brand new intake manifold with a new actuator. Still didn't change anything but spit out a new problem, that my shift solenoid needed to be replaced. So I looked up where it was located and found out it was in the tranny so I opened the tranny pan took out the filter to find nothing so then I take the bolts to drop the valve body and nothing happens is there a step I missed

Google request - look for YouTube videos - not practical to post the lengthy procedure here . However I highly recommend more *hands-on* testing to prove what has actually failed - just saying. Good luck with!
The shift solenoids are not under the filter, they are those little round metal pieces with wires coming off of them when you open the transmission pan. You do not need to remove the valve body to get to them. I had to replace mine as well and this is a very common issue with this car. This question was years ago but if you still have this car just make sure you change the tranny fluid every 40,000. The book says 100,000 do not ever let any transmission go that long with the same fluid in it. I'm sure you have fixed it by now but anyone still needing this info, here it is.
Whoops, this is not even for a focus, my bad just joined. Sorry
