had the trans solenoid replaced a few months back and once again it is not shifting into high gear! the part is still under warranty, is this fairly easy to replace myself?

    trans solenoid 200 1991

    There was a post on this a week or so ago - it's very easy to replace yourself. There are several methods of reaching it, my favorite is to make a tool: buy a cheap 12mm wrench, heat it, and bend it at about a 45 deg. angle. With such a tool you can change the solenoid in about 15 minutes. Less, if you're in a hurry.

    '93 244: 'A' cam 4 deg. advanced, 25/22 sways, custom heim endlinks, poly bushings, and a lot more styling customization than I care to recount.

      Check the Relay Switch, it clicks on and off
      and sits right left of the glove compartment
      after you pull the compartment out, it only
      has 'bout 10 small screws. The Relay clicks
      everytime you push the OD button.

      If not the relay.

      I bought a 12mm wrench that has a flex neck
      for angles such as this job entails.

      After becoming a pro at the OD solenoid remove
      and replace, I can do it in 'bout 10-15 minutes.

      Its not tough, just clean up the area before
      removing the damaged solenoid to avoid getting
      gunk in the small holes in the tranny.

      Good luck
      JRS
