Hi, Kenny -

Is it possible that the cam is installed backward on the mainshaft?  If so,
the cam won't operate the pump.

I finally got the OD unit onto the gearbox and installed over the weekend. I
took the car for a test drive and the OD unit would not engage.  The
solenoid worked fine.  Therefore, I figured there was a hydraulic issue. I
got a hold of a service manual and decided to pull off the solenoid bracket
and take out the pump valve. I also took out the one on the right side of
the OD unit.
After cleaning and re-installing valves, I looked inside and noticed when I
would turn the driveshaft the pump spring would not compress. I figured the
pump may not be contacting the oil cam on the mainshaft and is not working
properly.  Am I right thinking this?  Can the pump possibly be stuck? Any
suggestions?
