Hi Gang and thank you so much for all your help! I tried to add my two cents on a solution for removing ceased A-arm bushings... I know a sawsall sounds drastic, but it worked well and I added it the recent bushing posting if you are interested.
Onto the next issue. The overdrive on a BJ8 has been overhauled mechanically, and I've experienced intermitant shifting in and out of overdrive at highway speeds in third gear only. Fourth gear overdirve operation is fine.
Further diagnostics revealed that the Solinoid was bouncing in an out of activation by slight movements in the normal play of 3rd gear. It appears that the switch that "detects" 3 & 4th may be faulty or misadjusted.
Actually it's sorta cool operating the Overdrive with slight flicks of the gearshift..... like a 60's version of Tiptronic!!!
Before I take off the transmission cover for the 10th time this season and for potential part ordering efficiency I'd like to get the feedback or experiences of those that might have had similar issues, specifcally;
1) Can the existing switch be adjusted?
2) If it has to be replaced, what is the Moss part number (the illustrations descriptions are not very clear in their catalogue)?
Thanks again as always!
