going up hills in 4th = engine revs/slipping (M46) 200 1983

Thanks for the help. Solenoid will be first thing to replace with one on a donor just a mile or two down the road from my house. Just have to get a friend to shave down my wrench.

If in fact I've been damaging the OD while in R then maybe its time I head down the street a couple miles and talk a volvo owner of a 78 wagon with a m46 in it to give up the car after its sat for 14 years. Only 150,000 miles on the transmission and OD. Not sure if the older years would cause me any issues but if I was going to drop it one day to save then maybe its time to just swap out trans and OD and hope the best with a new clutch and every other thing that one can do at the same time.

Tough to know. I've got the OD rebuild kit but I really need my new 90 245 to be running as a back up in case it takes me multiple days. But if I've harmed the OD by now maybe a swap out would be good. Although 14 years of an transmission sitting with fluid sounds like a lot of work and possible problems with the OD. yada yada

Thanks again for all the help. I'll try adjusting the clutch cable some more and think about getting some resolve sooner than later.
