crap, got dirt into OD solenoid holes 200

posted by  someone claiming to be car owner on  Mon Aug 27 17:00 CST 2007 [RELATED]

hi,

during tranny swap, for some reason pulled of OD solenoid and should have left on for whole procedure, now there are prolly about half a dozen little bits of sand into those 2 three really tiny holes where OD solenoid goes in.

can prolly get out most of them with cue tip, but concerned that there are maybe some down in

tranny is still off car

The only thing i can think of to fix this is that i can firstly bolt on some foam with cardboard to that spot and then clean the outside of tranny very thouroughly so that I can then take off the tranny pan and clean it out good, (so next step doesn't make things worse) then i would flip the tranny upside down and pour fluid into the open pan area hoping that some will pour out the OD solenoid holes

is this ok!!!?????? don't want to make things worse...but stiring up sediment upside down or something

thanks!
