VINTAGE AUTO GARAGE

Overdrive Solenoid Oil Seal This seal goes into the overdrive transmission housing where the solenoid mounts to the transmission (and the solenoid shaft passes thru the transmission housing) and connects to the shift pawl.

This seal should be checked for damage every time the solenoid is removed for service and replaced if damage
