[TR] D Type Overdrive Actuator arm adjustment

[Paul Tegler]

you stick a drill bit (easy to size) through the lever and into the hole 
to pin it in place

then tighten/loosen the screw to adjust the engergized soleniod without 
any slack between nut and lever

It's a very small movement to engage/disengage. That lever pushes a rod 
straight up to pop a little ball bearing off it's seat to let oil pass

(near the top of the o/d)
