[TR] 3 questions

[dave northrup]

I tried hooking up power directly to the solenoid, directly from the battery.  Of course it behaved exactly as it should.  Then I hooked it back up, car on but not running, and the OD started working as it should.  Not putting the interior back together yet!  Going to do some test driving first

Special thanks to Al for setting me straight on the point of leakage and suggesting the two piece might not fit my OD setup.

  1.  Looks to me like this thing leaks quite a bit of oil.  It was on a cross country road trip this past year so I'm not surprised about the grit that has stuck to the oil.  I'm thinking I should loosen each bolt, one at a time, and put gasket sealant on it?
  2.  The solenoid is no longer disengaging.  Not worth messing with, right?  Just replace it?
  3.  Has anyone installed the 2 piece transmission tunnel?  https://bpnorthwest.com/transmission-tunnel-two-piece-tr4-to-tr6.html

Looks like a good idea to me





Hope everyone had a great holiday!
