[TR] TR3 O/D Solenoid plate

[Dave Connitt]

I agree with you Randy, he needs to get a pressure gauge and see if it’s building pressure. If he sees pressure then maybe when the lever on the solenoid was loose, he inadvertently moved tha actuating lever enough to let the metering valve on the opposite end drop down so now the valve isn’t turning the overdrive on  and off? It’s easy to do, ask me how I know.
