<html><body>There is another issue to consider. If it is stuck in OD and you have already driven it and reversed the car, it is possible that the sun gear is jammed (damaged beyond movement) and will give you the indication that you are engaged-permanently.<div><br></div><div>The problem could have started with a faulty lock out switch which then locked up the epicyclic clutch and left you with permanent (frozen) OD. As Ira says...big problem. New parts are available from OD Spares, UK.</div><div><br></div><div>If you push the gear leaver to the right does the solenoid click, indicating lockout? If not you must replace the switch before <b>ever using reverse</b> with this or a rebuilt unit. </div><div><br></div><div>I would take Gary's advise and contact the rebuilder of the unit-may have to pull the trans to get his attention.

<div style="color:#000000;font:12pt 'Comic Sans MS', sans-serif;">Your
problem is not the 30 wt oil vs MTL.
<div>I do not recall if you have mentioned who rebuilt the OD. Have
you discussed this issue with them? If it is stuck in OD all the
time, do not drive it in reverse or you will damage the
OD. </div>

<div><font size="2">So continuation of my search for OD problem
answers.</font></div>
<div><font size="2"><br></font></div>
<div><font size="2">today I jacked up the rear. put it
in 3rd, rev'ed up pretty good---flipped the OD sw---did not
engage-----solenoid moving the arm up and down beautifully.
Removed the solonoid piston---ran it up in 3rd--manually moved the
arm into <br>
OD position---did not go into OD.</font></div>
<div><font size="2"><br></font></div>
<div><font size="2">So--OD does not engage---by this testing method
I'm not sure if it is still IN OD or not-----last time I drove it
is WAS in <br>
OD all the time---whether I flipped the switch or not.</font></div>
<div><font size="2"><br></font></div>
<div><font size="2">So--------ASSUMING it is in OD all the time
regardless of where the switch is--wouldn't that say that it is not
a pressure problem?? If not, what could that
mean?</font></div>
<div><font size="2"><br></font></div>
<div><font size="2">ASSUMING is was NOT in OD as I was testing
it, and wouldn't go into OD, could that mean a pressure
problem?</font></div>
<div><font size="2"><br></font></div>
<div><font size="2">With me moving the arm manually and not
getting any reaction would that rule out a solenoid arm adjustment
as the problem?</font></div>
<div><font size="2"><br></font></div>
<div><font size="2">I'm still leaning toward a pressure
problem---caused by----????? <br></font></div>
<div><font size="2"><br></font></div>
<div><font size="2">Guess next I'll try to do a pressure ck.
Steve---------if you would, please send the equipment.
Thanks</font></div>

<div><font size="2">PS---before I had the unit rebuilt, it operated
beautifully---and I had Red Line MTL oil in it. I'm thinking
of dumping the 30w ND and adding MTL------wishful thinking
probably.</font></div>
