Re: R9 Overdrive Solenoid Spacer direction

Try again.
I may have to remove the solenoid one more time to get the red light on the dash to work. But otherwise the OD works perfectly and doesn't leak after 2 days of use.
So after all this I thought I would backtrack for posterity's sake with pix.

1. View from rear of 40 R9 OD solenoid.

2. View from rear showing two holes on the spacer.

3. View of OD lever and switch cable clevis.

4. Bottom of OD solenoid and cable

5. Solenoid 2 cap screws removed, hanging by wires

6. Solenoid opened showing contacts, spacer.

7. Pushing out washer and old seal.

8. Old seal out.

9. New seal

10. How a professional mechanic sealed the shaft.

I'm thrilled the OD is working again. Last night drove around the lake here as people gathered to watch fireworks. Just so quiet and solid because there were 5 people in the car and the top was down.

So back to the books to check that light circuit.
