I just bought a 1988 245 w/180k miles this weekend. Trans is smooth shifting but no fourth. Checked all the usual suspects: fuse, solenoid relay, hot wire and finally I pulled the solenoid tonight. It was toast. As per the post by Roger Scott (Jan 16 '04), I made a channel between the two fluid holes (I used a milling machine instead of a dremel tool and went with the single outer O-ring). No leaks and 4th gear has been restored! Thanks Roger. Great post!
