The problem was an overdrive shift problem that I simply could not fix. It wouldn't shift into OD until I hit 65 or sometimes higher. I did everything: flush & fill, dropped the pan and cleaned out the crud, new KD cable, swapped in a known good solenoid, even pulled the valve body. At that point I had enough. I bit the bullet, pulled the donor tranny from our parts car (a '91 244 with about 120k miles), and did the job. The replacement has worked perfectly for about a year, although I did have a few days of trouble with a short in the OD circuit.
