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.<div>Dave Connitt <br><br><div dir="ltr">Sent from my iPhone</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Jul 17, 2021, at 8:32 PM, Randy and Valerie DeRuiter <deruiterville@hotmail.com> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">

Hi Art
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I may have missed all the discussion but you really need to get the operating pressure if the overdrive to help diagnose, especially since you see the solenoid working.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Jay Holekamp makes a very nice gauge for this</div>

<div dir="ltr">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.</div>
