I don't have the overdrive mounted to the transmission yet and therefore no gear oil in the OD. I took the cover off the solenoid so I could see the "points" under that cover. The bottom portion of the solenoid points was pushed way down and thus setting at an angle, and the top portion of the points was touching the bottom point only on the very edge.So I bent the bottom portion up so the top point and bottom point were matching up flat to flat. I then mounted the solenoid onto the overdrive and adjusted the actuating lever, and adjusted the set screw below the plunger of the solenoid to have .151" clearance. I've connected the solenoid body to the negative battery terminal via a wire and have a wire from the positive battery terminal that I use to touch the solenoid lead. When I touch the positive wire to the solenoid lead the plunger is immediately pulled up and opens the points on top of the solenoid. However, as I leave the power applied the plunger chatters up and down, and the points chatter open and closed very fast. What does this tell me about the solenoid coil windings, is something wrong with them? Thanks for any help!
