<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">A pressure test with a gauge from Jay Holekamp is a great idea. While your waiting for its arrival, loosen the clamping bolt and take the car for a ride. Reach across the transmission and operate the lever manually (the one you put the 3/16” drill into when you adjust the solenoid). If the overdrive kicks in, you have a solenoid or solenoid adjustment problem. The overdrives O.K. Better still have a passenger operate the lever, so that you can concentrate on your driving. And watch out for that spinning prop shaft. Loose clothing not allowed.</span>

<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">By the way, if you have a functioning ammeter and the solenoid is connected on its load side, you can observe the operation of the solenoid on the meter. </span>
