[TR] TR3 O/D Solenoid plate

[Art McEwen]

Hi Bob, solenoid itself is operating fine but o/d is not engaging (running in 2nd gear on jacks).  Pretty sure it’s not the adjustment as I’ve lined it up with the hole on the far side (and a little either side).  Won’t engage when operated by hand either.
