[TR] TR3 O/D Solenoid plate

[Kinderlehrer]

Before you do anything else, do a load test on the battery. Even if it is producing 12 volts it may not be producing the 20 amps needed to engage the OD.

Nothing went sproing when I took the plate off and I think I’ve got the leak sealed but no amount of solenoid adjustment will engage the overdrive.  :(. The springs weren’t removed and I presume they’re still seated where they were.

 

I’m wondering if some of the sludge in the bottom of the case that I tried to remove got relocated to a valve body somewhere.  Thinking of taking it for a road test then changing fluid again.

Nothing will go sproing but you will likely loose your solenoid adjustment.  Not a big deal as adjusting is pretty simple.

It's weeping oil (even more than "acceptable"), can I loosen the 4 screws to add gasket goop without misaligning the plunger/spring thingy behind it or is it safe to remove entirely while in place without something going "sprong"?

 

Thanks,
