Transmission failing? (AW70 in 1991 245) 200 1991

i would not assume your transmission is failing. you state after flushing the transmission now shift through 1,2,3 normally but does not go into over drive.

yes the solenoid would be the next thing to remove. you could simply bypass the solenoid which simply eliminates the option to manually downshift from 4th to 3rd.

if the transmission is good with the solenoid bypassed shifting up to the 4th......OD........ becomes automatic.

if it still will not shift to OD after bypassing then you might have more flushing to do. these boxes are famously durable under the most punishing conditions.
