Rob, My posting was not in regard to an automatic that I own. It was a reply to Tom's post about his auto computer problem. As I understand the computer, it will energize the solenoids in combination to select first, second, or third. Both solenoids energized should give you first, one on and one off gives you second, and both off should put the transmission in third. If the computer does not have any power, neither of the solenoids can be energized so the transmission would have to be in third gear. Is this correct? -- =============================================== Bryan Pearce Pearce Design Components =============================================== On Aug 26, 2008, at 5:02 PM, <rob@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Bryan, > > > > You are correct.
