If you find the fault is traced to the solenoid and you think the fix is adding a bypass plate I would grind a groove in the underside of the solenoid as described in the FAQ section above. The procedure is easy and it works.

I did this in the last couple of years and it restored the overdrive. Of course you lose the ability to shift it down to 3rd at higher speeds.

EDIT: I found the post and it includes the Oring information that I found at Lowe’s.
