Overdrive how long should it take?

[saintnova]

Guys, I know this thread has been around a while and you guys know your stuff so here goes. I inherited a Paj 93 v6 and the OD doesn't work. I grounded the temp wire but no change. Actually, before I grounded the wire, flicking the OD switch changed the way the engine went through the gears, although no overdrive. Now there is absolutely no difference with the switch on or off. So my questions are:

1. Did I screw something up further?
2. Is the OD solenoid a single wire under the transmission with a plastic covering over it? (Me thinks the wire is yellow)

3. Most important. How da hell do I get to the OD solenoid? My hands aren't able to reach it from under the Paj. Do I need to pull stuff down?

Respect to you guys. Because of you and my brand new old Paj, I can now read .

He replaced the OD solenoid.

I experienced the same issue, I replaced my OD solenoid too and it now works too.
