AW70 overdrive solenoid (again?) 200 83

posted by  someone claiming to be Joe Anglim on  Mon Jul 23 12:33 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Sorry for bringing this up again, but I spent all weekend under the car and so maybe a new perspective will help.

By the way, I am Joe Anglim, and always have been...

I replaced my OD relay several years back (before word reached me of this magician named Don) and all was well until recently. About 6 weeks ago the car started refusing to engage the OD, even though the relay audibly clicked and the light lit and unlit. Saturday I took out the solenoid and couldn't get any sound out of it by applying 12V (and it's wiring was looking bad right up to the cap) so I replaced it with a new solenoid and good wiring. Now I get a click at the relay and under the car, and ovedrive does engage, but I can't get it to drop out of OD into 3rd by pressing the button. IOW, at 60mph on the highway, with the light off / overdrive engaged, I push the button and the light comes on, but nothing else changes. The transmission seems to be shifting well otherwise and it has fresh mobil 1 atf in it.

Seems to me like less of a problem than the OD that won't engage, but something obviously isn't right.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Joe
