If your solenoid is getting power and it's not shifting into OD, then (and only then) should it be replaced. And yes, these are the same on all van transmissions. Volvo also used this same solenoid with the only difference being the single wire terminal end (a review of this thread should give details and part numbers). TimOriginally Posted by Javier
Thanks for the support, I have checked all the possible causes and the solenoid is faulty.
I just replaced the od solenoid with a brand new one I ordered from Ebay $+180 delivered, works like a charm and shifts like a dream
Awesome Javi!
Not to break your heart but this is an option as well.

Great!! I was told that wouldn't work ooh well it's good to know for future references better late than never
FYI, I got that one and have put approx 80k miles on it. It has leaked from day 1. It doesn't leak a lot, just enough to make my van undercarriage a bit nasty from the mixture of dust and ATF. If I had to guess, I'd say it leaks about 1 cup every 5k miles. It has functioned well, but I despise leaks. if I had to do it again I'd probably just pay the $180 or whatever for a quality part. Tim
Update to now 7/13 /21 and my od solenoid is leaking the one I paid $180 for wow wtf. 🤬 I suppose I will try the volvo one. Seller will not claim warranty on part.
To replace my non-functioning overdrive solenoid, I got one of those blanking plates off Amazon or Ebay that keeps the overdrive engaged all the time. It leaked when I first installed it. It turned out that the supplied o-ring was too thin and barely protruded above its groove. I replaced it with a thicker o-ring and it's been fine since.
