Yup, you sure can. It drips at you a bit, but no "river of oil" as I was
warned.
Of course, my first thought was the old joke "What do you call a British car
that doesn't leak?" "Empty," but a later check showed all was well in the
tranny.

Well, fortunately I didn't have to. Power was not my problem. I had 12v at
the soleniod in 3rd & 4th with the switch on, as it should be.
Also checked and found solenoid worked just fine hooked up to power out of
the car.
But, when I removed the solenoid, all ready to look for pitting on the
little ball bearing, guess what - no ball bearing.
So, my ball bearing is in the mail, and hopefully once installed I won't
have any other suprises.
Safety fast (and soon, at lower revs),
