Hi All,
Here's the scenario. OD is intermittant. See my previous posts for all the things tried, including completely bypassing the electrical to the solienoid. Solenoid was replaced. Most times when it worked it took a speed of 55 65 to get it to kick in. Occasionally when it started working, it would work for the rest of the trip.

I just reajusted the kickdown this morning loosening it more, but I'm going to be surprised if I see any results with the OD.

I keep hearing references to wear down of some of the check balls in the valve body and I'm wondering if perhaps this is where I am. 130 K on the car. Whould the external pressure check help confirm that?

I have a friend who is a transmission guy by profession and would get him to do it. I have rebuilt Warner Marine transmissions, but they dont have all those balls and springs. As we get older , hopefully, we get smarter?

tthe car shifts fine except for the OD and perhaps a power flush might be in order first. Although several folks have said," just replace the transmission, they are cheap", I am concerned about getting a worse one than I have now, for all that work.

your thoughts???
