No problem with activating it running or not. I think Eric mentioned someone
told him not to do that, but he didn't say who said so.
There's no reason that the tranny needs to be spinning - I just suggested a
simple way to do a running test. The solenoid on the J doesn't make the loud
click that the A does, and all it's vital parts are internal and not visible
when installed, so the easiest way to confirm that all is well is to do the
running test.
