Re: Wampus Cat
I disassembled the solenoid, cleaned it up internally, filed the points, and lubricated the moving parts.
After some investigation and poking around, I was finally also able to remove the shaft seal for replacement. This is rather difficult because there is no access behind the seal to drive it out because the coil assembly is in the way. I fashioned a small chisel from the hardened shaft of a small screwdriver and gently tapped away at the metal housing of the seal until I could deform it sufficiently to pull it out. This seal is apparently the same shaft seal as is used to seal the shaft in the transmission tail-housing so I ordered a second one of those and installed it.
The solenoid bench tests ok now, but it will be awhile before I can test the transmission in the truck.
