Hi,

Check here for more info with pic of where to grind groove with Dremel on the solenoid:

and here is an even better picture:

A couple years back my solenoid fell apart on my 90 244 and I had the same symptoms you have. Along with the solenoid the wiring was also sheared off. I didn't need the OD function so I bought the bypass plate quickly (before I know that there was detailed documentation on where to cut a failed plate to perform the bypass). Read the above FAQ link for details on removal. Be careful with the two bolts as they are installed at a low torque value. Personally I didn't have to lower the transmission. I just put the front of the car on jackstands, blocked rear wheels and removed the bolts pretty easily-I do have skinny arm however and small hands which probably helped.

Hope that helps,

Travis
