There=E2=80=99s nothing wrong with the solenoid. It operates just fine.
I removed and replaced the solenoid plate to deal with a leak and now the so=
lenoid doesn=E2=80=99t engage the o/d anymore while the car is running on ja=
cks. I was hoping to avoid a half assembled road test.

ith a gauge from Jay Holekamp is a great idea. While your waiting for its ar=
rival, loosen the clamping bolt and take the car for a ride. Reach across th=
e transmission and operate the lever manually (the one you put the 3/16=E2=80=
=9D drill into when you adjust the solenoid). If the overdrive kicks in, you=
have a solenoid or solenoid adjustment problem. The overdrives O.K. Better s=
