[TR] TR3 O/D Solenoid plate

[DAVID MASSEY]

 With no load on the wheels the engine speed will not change but the speedo will jump up.  This can be misleading if you don't know what to watch.

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.

Even if it is producing 12 volts it may not be producing the 20 amps needed to engage the OD. Bob  From: Triumphs [mailto:triumphs-bounces at autox.team.net] On Behalf Of Art McEwen

Subject: Re: [TR] TR3 O/D Solenoid plate  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.  Dave     -----Original Message-----

Subject: [TR] TR3 O/D Solenoid plateIt'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"?
