just to follow up my local J type the solenoid 0 rings were fine but the innards had a lot of crud to wash out

now it rattles well but still disengaging at times not the random in out so a quick check of the inhibitor switch 

by holding the gear lever towards the driver test shows it needs some adjustment 

a quick removal and adding a bit of set in the remote bracket and all is well 

so two problems , solved

I found the same. A blast of carb cleaner into the solenoid, piston out, required to remove gunk stopping it moving freely.
