55 Tbird OD question
Three speed manual OD, totally stock top to bottom. The car no longer
goes into OD as of last week. Thinking it was electrical, I grounded the red wire to the relay. I get a nice clunk in both the relay and the solenoid on the side of the transmission. Thinking it might be the governor or kickdown switch, I take it out for a run to be sure that solved it, with a solid connection to ground on the red wire. No good. On to the OD cable. It goes all the way to the stop, works as smooth as always, and looks perfect. Anything else to check, or am I looking at a teardown? |

Might want to post your question to alt.autos.studebaker as the BW OD was very popular in those cars for some reason and there's lots of knowledgeable folks on there. I'm thinking of swapping one into my '56 Golden Hawk actually... if I don't sell the whole car that is... nate |
