Will have to locate a manual.

Is replacing the pump, or inspecting it an easy or hard job? Time and money
are limited at the moment. The overdrive is already seperated from the rest of
the transmission, the only thing known about it is that it doesn't work, and
the solinoid does go click.

And to cap it off, my Mini dropped a valve yesterday and now I need a new
piston and possibly a new head... John won't be getting much help from me for
a while.
