hi ted,
thanks for your reply.

ok good to hear about rare 4th gear failures.

i did replace the od solenoid with a new one, checked the old one, 12V, good, resistance, good. so i'm keeping my old one.

surprisingly, when i looked at the linkage, both bushings are gone, but i presume they've been gone a while, so i don't think that was a problem.

i'll replace them and then check.

i tightened a bit my kickdown cable, but that shouldn't cause a 4th gear problem.

i'll recheck issues external to the tranny.

one check is to unscrew the solenoid and turn on the engine to try to push any dirt that may be causing blockage in the port to the solenoid.

i hope it is a simple issue.

thanks,
byron
