So shortly after I thought the solenoid was fixed, it stopped working again.
I’ve been working on Penny and just driving Frankentruck as a standard 3 speed. On Thursday, I just happened to see a for sale ad on Facebook Marketplace. So now I have four 3 speed overdrive transmissions.
A new solenoid is around $300. These two transmissions were $150 for both. As long as one of those solenoids works, I’ll be in good shape
