I agree with you Randy, he needs to get a pressure gauge and see if it=E2=80=
=99s building pressure. If he sees pressure then maybe when the lever on the=
 solenoid was loose, he inadvertently moved tha actuating lever enough to le=
t the metering valve on the opposite end drop down so now the valve isn=E2=80=
=99t turning the overdrive on  and off? It=E2=80=99s easy to do, ask me how I=
 know.
