That is an interesting account. It reminds me of the many shadetree stories related here on this forum suggesting the fix for non-working overdrives with nicely clicking solenoids is a thorough cleaning or even a fluid change.

The variable I wonder about is the strong liklihood of an intermittent electrical path beginning at the shifter box up to and including the internal connection in the old solenoid's windings; but mostly at the bullet terminal. A static test, i.e. "I have 12V" could miss a problem you'd wiggle the wiring to expose.
