Bob, Two things........

1) Your posts are hard on the eyes.

2) If solenoids were all off......the tranny would be in 3rd gear.

So....you can see where putting a new one in to get 3rd gear might be kinda ...... not gunna work.

If you don't have 3rd gear, it's not the solenoid causing the prob.

=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Dearest Bob,

1) The servo is not causing your symptom.

2) A dummy can change a servo seal, no prob.

3) I will no longer be addressing you in this thread Bob. Your broke arse should continue to do what you have done for the last 6 months, drive it like it is. It's a money thing Bob. It's one of them things Bob....that all the wish''n in the world ain't gonna cure. Sorry Bob..but that's the facts...you're broke, it's broke, it's gonna take all yer beer fund to fix.

Bob...the servo ain't gonna fix it. Bob...you need a tranny overhaul. Bob...i'm sorry bout yer tranny. Bob...i hope things werk out fer yuh. Bob...all the talk'n in the world ain't chang'n it.

I will be leaving you to deal with yer dilema now Bob. It's your deal dude. You're broke Bob. There's no hope for it Bob. so...... if you wuz look'n for a reason to go out and get stoned and drunk.....there it is. Life sucks Bob....and the sucky part of it is....you got to deal with it. So when possible Bob....deal with it in a "modified and enhanced" mood.

oo L O

In closing Bob, I would like to say....if by chance i win the Florida lotto in the next month or two, I'll send you a transmission fer yer truck, and maybe a batch of top notch shroom juice.

respectfully
