<div> <font size="3">That reminds me, using the 3/16 drill bit technique (as detailed in the repair manual) to adjust the solenoid may or may not work. Due to wear and manufacturing tolerances it is not uncommon that the adjustment needs to be deeper than what this method provides. I found that I needed to go about 1/10th inch (2mm) beyond that to get reliable operation.</font></div>

<div><font size="3">I don't remember if this works with the engine not running but if you manually operate the lever you can feel where it engages the valve. If you see the holes line up before or at this point in the range of movement then you will need to set the solenoid where it will pull the lever even further.</font><br>

<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>
