Hey all. Earlier today I was driving down the highway at about 65mph. Suddenly I heard a soft thud underneath the hood and immediately my check engine light came on and my RPMs went up from about 1500 to a little over 2000. I brought my speed down to about 55 until I exited onto the city streets... Taking off from red lights I felt a significant loss in acceleration and power.
Soon after this happened I went to Autozone and received these codes: P0700, P0750 (Read Fault Memory of Control Unit ETC & Shift Solenoid A).
So, I've heard from different people and heard that a simple tune up or spark plug replacement would fix the problem and I've also heard that taking my truck to places like Aamco where they'd "clear the codes" (whatever that means) would also fix the problem rather than replacing the Solenoids.
I'd like to know how I can fix this problem without having to spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars.
(Side notes: oil changes are up to date, recently replaced fuel pump, in recent weeks I noticed a tiny bit of play in my RPM needle while in idle)
Any help or advice is welcome and thanks for reading!

Edit:
alright so I've learned alot in the past few hours and have decided it's probably best to just replace the solenoid(s) that these codes are showing as defective.
I've read several threads concerning the same issue but with different vehicle models.
Can someone give me some insight as to how to replace the solenoid or solenoids p0750, specifically, on a 2006 dodge ram 1500 4.7L auto?
Thanks in advance.
