Guest rsmalling Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 I have good 12v to the horizontal plug at the trans, no click from the solenoid, and my micro switch is working great. The kick down works fine. So its either a bad connection inside the trans or a bad solenoid. Where can I buy a new solenoid if I end up needing one? Thanks for any help locating the part.

Guest Rob J Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Rob, one thing to try before you replace it. Remove the trans pan, and follow the solenoid wire. See if it is somehow pinched, and shorting out. When I had my tranny rebuilt this past summer by Aamco, I noticed the wire was pinched upon teardown. Worth a look. HTH, Rob.

Guest rsmalling Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 thanks fellows! Im hoping its a bad connection or pinched wire inside the trans. At least its easy to get to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoemsen Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Hey Rob, I hooked my stator detent switch up and I got lucky! When I push the button, I can hear the solenoid click. Does anyone have a nice,clear close-up picture of how that switch gets mounted on the linkage? I can't seem to figure out how it will be activated on throttle position change.Thanks,Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got lucky, mine started working fine after I drove the car and hasn't missed a beat since, Ive been chking it often. On my OP: I Emailed Jim @ tri shield perf and he said he can repair for the solenoids and has very good luck with them. To adjust the service manual makes easy work and understanding of it.

phoemsen Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Thanks Rob. I'm working on it now and these pictures are a huge help!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoemsen Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 O.K, just finished the installation. It makes perfect sense now. I wasn't sure how the switch would be de-activated when the accelerator was pushed. There is actually some play in the linkage connection that allows the switch to release. Working perfectly now!

Guest slimpick99 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 If you are still looking for this switch, I have one for sale. Also a lot of other Nailhead parts for 401/425 engines 64 to 66. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
