should i undo the tranny mount and lower before O/D replacement? 200 1986

Use some grease on the O rings to hold them in place (in the solenoid).
I got some O rings that were slightly smaller than they should have been and I almost never got it back together. With the right O rings they'll stay in place with some light grease.

My OD wire was broken where it comes through the body under the trans shifter cover. The wire is coming from the relay but goes under the shift cover and through a grommet to the OD solenoid. The ground is the trans case.
Be sure to check for the 12volts at the solenoid connector when you get it disconnected. I like a 12 volt test light best. Just clamp it to the trans case and probe the wire while someone is turning the switch on and off.

Good luck.
