First thing to do as per MS is to identify which clutch is slipping.
Regarding testing the solenoid, not as simple as the relay.
They have 2 coils - a holding and pull in that is disabled when engaged by
a small switch.
I would suggest leaving it attached to the OD with cover off.
Pull the wire off the GB 3/4 switch and feed directly with 12V. The
solenoid should move the operating lever positively. Check for full motion.
There is supposed to be about 10 thou shaft end float to avoid binding.
If you have a dc ammeter then you should see an initial current of around
18A from memory then almost immediately dropping to around 3-4A. It should
also drop freely when off.
Do check the TS.
Good luck
