1956 Mercury Monterey, 3-speed with overdrive
With the OD handle pushed in (engaged) it freewheels just like I pressed in the clutch anytime I lift off the accelerator. With the handle pulled out (disengaged) it acts like a normal 3-speed.
Followed the troubleshooting guide here:
http://www.fordification.com/tech/overdrive.htmRelay is good I think, I can hear it click when I ground the wire to the governor. I think the solenoid is bad. I ran a jumper straight from 12V at battery to the positive wire on the jumper, nothing. Ground wire is good.
Is there any way to rebuild the solenoid? Any good source for a replacement?
