Re: Bad OD Solenoid?

When I wired up my R11 in my 38 coupe I didn't use a kickdown switch. I put a switch under the dash that breaks the wire from the governor. To "kickdown" I just flip the switch and touch the clutch and the car drops out of OD. I used to have a on-off-momentary switch. The momentary side just grounded out the coil but I found that hitting the clutch was enough to relieve the torque on the tranny to allow dropping out of OD
