Hi all - I'm going to look at a '79 spit with O/D tomorrow.  The owner
sayd the O/D is intermittent - sometimes it engages and sometimes it
doesn't.  He says it is almost certainly a solenoid.  He says he has the
solenoid, he just hasn't installed it yet.
1.  Is there an easy way to troubleshoot this on the spot?
2.  Is this a common problem, or am I likely getting into something
major?
3.  If it is the solenoid, can this be changed with the gearbox still in
the car?
Thanks in advance,
Mark Gardner 
(Looking at #14 tomorrow)
