All is not right with the world.
I have intermittent engagement of the o/d unit (type a) on my '3.
(Mostly doesn't and less so now than a week ago) Did a pressure check
and it reads in the 400-450 range and the book says it should be 550 or
so. Did not take a reading when first installed so it could be
dropping, hence engaging less.
1) Is this the likely reason for no engagement? Solenoid/operating
lever all function as they should although lever had to be setup past
the lineup hole as described in manual.
2) What might be causing it? I have checked out the check valve
and levels. Rear tranny seal has been fixed - no leaks now.
3) Is there a solution other than pulling the o/d and going through
it?
4) What about the "one-way" clutch? What would the symptoms be of
a faulty or damaged one? I have heard that going into reverse might
cause havoc. I can say that I didn't do it; but anything is possible.
I'm stumped...
All insightful responses appreciated.
