Still no OD 200

Hello Brickers.

I still (going in 1 year) do not have 4th gear OD in my 85 245DL AW70. I know that the solenoid is working...(I replaced the solenoid and repaired the wiring and can hear the solenoid cycle on/off at the trans.) the trans will shift into 4th when traveling over 45mph and I take my foot off of the accelerator....(decel) but when tip into the throttle it goes back to and stays in 3rd. I can see by the tach that it is shifting to fourth when decel and it won't do this with the OD switch off.

I have replaced the kick-down cable with a new one and even disconnected the cable all together and still no change.

I have replaced the fluid three times....once to see if that was the problem.....second, to replace the cable and again becase I had a fluid leak due to a crappy gasket.

I read where someone had the trans governor?? worked on to repair this concern.
Has anyone had experience with this before?

I purchased a Volvo factory trans manual that has a flow chart but it does not describe this condition.

Thanks in advance for any help you may provide.
