New overdrive solenoid



OD solenoid has stopped worked about every 2nd year. Up to now it has recovered with some tapping to solenoid. Last fall that did not help anymore so I decided to buy a new solenoid. Difficult location next to exhaust pipes to change it.
New solenoid did not help. It seems OD is picky for the oil type. I had put Redline MT-90 in as mistake, after I changed to Redline MTL OD started to work again. I know most people use just normal SAE30 but I think gearbox works better with Redline oils.
