I AM HAVING PROBLEMS GETTING MY 89 760 TURBO WAGON REPAIRED BY BOTH MY MECHANIC AND DEALER. THE CAR SHIFTS THROUGH ALL THE GEARS SMOOTHLY, BUT DOESNT WANT TO GO INTO OVERDRIVE. MY MECHANIC REPLACED THE 0/D SOLENOID VALVE AND THE O/D RELAY BECAUSE HE SAID THEY WERE BAD. ( SEEMS TO BE TRUST WORTHY GUY AND HAS A GREAT REPUTATION IN THE AREA) THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM HOWEVER. I THEN TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL DEALER WHO THEN REPLACED THE WIRING TO THE SOLENOID(REPAIRED GROUND TO THE SOLENOID). BINGO, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED PERFECTLY FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS. THEN I NOTICED CERTIAN BUGS WITH THE RADIO AND RIGHT TURN SIGNAL WORKING CORRECTLY SOMETIMES THEN, IN THE BLINKERS CASE, BLINKING REALLY FAST AS IF THE LAMPS WERE BURNT OUT. THEN THE NEXT DAY EVERTHING IS FINE. (RELATED I DONT KNOW?) THE PUZZLING THING IS THE CAR WORKED PERFECT AFTER THE WIRE WAS REPAIRED WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIVE MY TRANSMISSION IS OK. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER NEXT MONDAY SO AND HELP ON THIS SUBJECT WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED.

THANKS IN ADVACE
