:mad:Replaced all 6 solenoids with the new ones. They all were packed well and looked and marked just like the ones removed. Replaced the valve body gasket with the blow off valve mod. Buttoned everything up and now it will not go into any gear without having to wait for 30-40 sec's before it shifts into on. Reverse clunked when it finally engages and it is easier to get it to move forward by putting it into 1st vs. Drive. Acts the same way with or without the o/d being turned on or off on the stalk. Any ideas guys? I need this thing going pronto!

:dead:
 






Shifting now

The fluid was little low so I added more (total 7) and it shifts into all gears in the driveway fine now. Forgot how much more fluid was in that comes out when the valve body is removed so I guess it wasnt getting enough fluid pressure. Will get it out on the road shortly and see how it does. Hopefully the new solenoids will do the trick! I replaced them all. If not can someone lead me to info on dropping and rebuliding this bad boy, I need to save the money on having a shop do it at the moment and will attempt it myself!
 






Still has O/D flashing

Well the O/D light still flashes so I guess it's time for a rebuild on this thing unless someone can point me in a different direction on any other possible cause for this problem.
