Have seen it done both ways... wat is correct soak it fluid or not

It's not necessary. Clutch pack plates are usually soaked prior to installation.

Alright thanks... had a 2nd and 5th gear issue that ended up being a broken overdrive servo and delayed engagement due to the pump valve both of which were fixed and i took the trans apart at that time and cleaned everything and put it back together. the original problems were fixed but 4th and 5th failed.to engage and would rev up and then reverse quit too (all on first drive).. u can hear the low band.engaging on reverse but.there is no movement. then rebuilt the trans with new frictions, rubber and.gaskets and still expirencing same issues.. solenoid block ohmed out good but seemed to read infinity on the pressue B soleniod when tested thru wiring...

i removed the block and put power to the solenoids and clicked them.over and pressure B and I think C were not very loud. got a soleniod block at the junk yard with 90k.on it for 4$ so im going to try that. think im on the right path¿


ps...on my phone and it sucks to type

Test the internal wiring harness for continuity from point to point.

The internal harness meaning the trans harness or the vehicle wiring going to fuse 37?

The wiring harness which is inside the transmission. It has an external bulkhead connector. The opposite side is directly connected to the solenoid block.
