AW70 Want shift into overdrive

Post by Dean Byess »

New member here, site looks great. I have a 91 240 w/AW70 trans.
It shifts through all the gears fine except OD. The OD soleniod is toast but it is in the closed possition. Question: Do you really need power to the OD solenoid for the OD to work even if you don't really need the ability to shift using the button on the shifter.

FYI: I fixed the relay on this 240. After talking with the dealer about replacement, he mentioned a problem they had with those models. I pulled the relay (behind the glove box) popped the cover off and found several cold solder joints on the curcuit board. Resoldered the bad joints and worked great. Saved about $65.00. :?:
