THANKS Glen:
I verified the soloniod is getting current. So it does not appear to be
electrical isues. Randall sent me some great trouble shooting info, looks
like we will be in deep soon.

Bob - I just replaced the solenoid on my 77 Spit overdrive, thinking it had
gone bad. The overdrive still didn't work, but after testing the circuits, I
realized that I wasn't getting juice through the overdrive inhibitor switch
when in third/fourth gear. I replaced that switch (about $10 from Spitbits),
and that solved the problem. Try replacing that switch, but also make sure the
gearbox has sufficient oil.
