Carlos,



I would set the operating lever (right side of OD) as per the manual with the
3/16 drill bit by energizing the solenoid with the clamp loosened on the
solenoid side (left side of the tranny) and tightening it up after you align
the hole in the operating lever arm with the hole in the housing.  Disengage
the solenoid and go for a drive to check it out.  If it does not engage then
just reach over and push the operating lever forward to see if the OD engages
in 3rd or 4th.  If it engages by manually by pushing the operating lever arm
forward then make a note of how far you had to push it and adjust the clamp to
allow for that much travel and your done.  If it doesn't engage then either
your solenoid is bad and not pulling all the way in or you have a pressure
problem.



Check the operating valve to see if it is pushing the ball up when the
solenoid is engaged without the engine running.  Remove the operating valve
plug (hex head on top of the OD) and place your finger over the hole so the
ball won't go flying when you engage the OD with the engine off.



I am sending an article that will help you understand this thing a little
better.  It is not too difficult to diagnose up to this point.  You will need
special pressure checking equip't in order to establish if you have proper
pressure to correctly operate the unit but there is a wide pressure range in
which the OD will engage and function satisfactorily.  This article will
really help sort things out for you.



Someone please correct me if I am steering him wrongly.
