Finally dropped in the tranny...
All I needed was a driveshaft from an auto amazon... that is all, everything else was bolt on.
Now, I just installed it an hour ago... aaaand... the car didn't want to leave 3rd gear. took me two hands to wrestle it back into neutral. But 3rd shifts fine now.
The overdrive... I hooked up the selenoid to a simple switch (volvo fog switch), and I heard the selenoid pop on and off. when turning the switch on and off.
the OD worked... once. I was in 4th gear, kicked it into OD. Worked for 5seconds...then quickly started to slip. Not sure if it got kicked back into 4th gear or was still in OD. The revs simply increased. (where about 4th gear would rev at)
Then after that it wouldn't really kick into OD anymore... no rev change when pressing the switch.
So...
Is there a problem with the switch, Selenoid, or actual overdrive?
I neeeed heeeelp
Is a simple switch enough... or will it burn out?
