Re: Overdrive wiring issue

Definitely something wrong with the small extension that actuates the contacts. It should only extend out from the round stop that hits against the contact support at the rear of travel by approx 5/16 inch and the tip clears the contact support by about 1/8 inch to touch and move the contacts when at rest. Yours looks to have approx 1/2 - 3/4 inch of extension.
Not sure what fastens all of that together as I have not disassembled a solenoid that far but am thinking it might unscrew in some fashion to make the plunger shaft, stop and contact extension an assy to allow for separation for service or assembly. If the solenoid came from one of our vendors I would think a phone call at the least is in order. Maybe something came unscrewed or maybe a wrong part was installed during the rebuild.
The R9 plunger length out of the case is approx 2 1/4 so at least that part is good and it is the correct solenoid. The R11 plunger resting length is just shy of an inch long and the major reason solenoids are not interchangeable. Total travel of the R9 plunger when extended is a little over 3/8 inch and am guessing the R11 is the same.
