        <p class="MsoNormal">Yes, and I agree with Michael, and Simon's
          note; a pressure test is in order. Problem always being
          obtaining a gauge and fittings.  However, it is imperative
          that the pressure be 400+lbs. or it is not producing a good
          overdrive exchange. Electrics are one thing, and pressure

          If it does not hit 400, you might as well rebuild the unit, or
          at least clean it and retest. Disengagement is a result of the
          pressure being released, and the 8 springs pushing the clutch
          back to direct drive.  You need the 400 lbs. to overcome the 8
          springs, and <b>quickly</b> move the clutch forward to OD. My
