OD solenoid disfunctioning

posted by  someone claiming to be ray on  Sun Nov 28 16:34 CST 2004 [RELATED]

My 87 volvo 240 auto tranny runs only on 3rd gear because the OD relay and the solenoid are shots. To replace them cost almost half of the car and that is out of the question. I want to know if I can bypass or disconnect the solenoid function completly, another word make a permanent flow passage or block the flow of oil permanently. But I need to understand how the solenoid supposes to work first.
Your help is appreciated.
