Clive Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 J type you can't, oil will pour out. (please let that be correct, I am starting to doubt myself!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 That depends on which od you have D type removal has no effect just wont work as its mechanical j type you will empty the gearbox as its hydraulic please so we dont have to guess we need some clues about just what car or unit you have pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Lewis Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 mentioned in other threads is the D type solenoid has a switch in its end to cut the pull in coil and engage a holding coil this is under the rubber boot, some switches can be removed and cleaned some are solid in sealer and cant be repaired its operated by a small pushrod in the base of the coils the armature( plunger) just presses it when it reached the end of its travel this travel is linked to the need to align the lever hole with the one in the case , if it cant travel enough you dont trigger the holding coil if it travels without aligning the lever hole you operate the holding coil but will be short of hydraulic pressure as you dont lift the small spool valve off it seat ( under the cap screw on the top of the case )( theres a ball spring and needle with tiny hole through it which can get blocked .
