Mysterious D-Type OD Failure 1800

Hi Bob

ODspares has this great troubleshooting guide:


~Failure To Engage~

Low oil level

No electrical feed to solenoid

Solenoid valve sticking due to dirt

Blocked oil flters

Dirt in pump non-return valve

Sticking relief valve piston

If these items check out OK, engage the clutch fiercely with overdrive
switched in on the overrun in third gear at 40/45mph.

I especially like the last item. Seems like I'd have to jump my 4th gear lockout for that.

Thanks again!

Jim
