How do I cut metal in my A/T Overdrive solenoid to turn it 'always on'? 200 1983

posted by  someone claiming to be kevin-at-vmware-dot-com on  Thu Jan 15 08:56 CST 2004 [RELATED]


In response to an earlier question of mine, Don Foster suggested that it might be possible to mechanically alter my 1983 240 Auto Trans overdrive solenoid such that I would have O/D "Always on" (and thus forget about the whole relay / wiring degradation issue altogether).

See earlier post: http://brickboard.com/RWD/index.htm?id=736583

Anyone out there actually done this and can provide some pointers on tools used, time taken to do this, etc? Am I better off just buying a new solenoid ($200) and installing it / getting someone to install it?

Thanks Don!
