Product Description Borg Warner Overdrive R-10 R11 Solenoid 12 volts with new seal ODSL12
This is the same solenoid used by all eleven of the car companies that offered the Borg Warner electric overdrive as an option from the late 1930's through the early 1960's. This solenoid will fit standard Borg Warner overdrive applications with a shaft length of 1", measured from the tip of the shaft to the edge of the alignment flange. (lay your ruler on top of the shaft and measure from the ball end to the edge of the casting). All standard overdrive-solenoids will measure 1". Wagons, convertibles and Lincoln's will measure 1.5 inches and a few odd applications will measure 1.25 inches or longer.
This solenoid fits the STANDARD 1" applications. Please check you shaft length before ordering. MEASURE SHAFT LENGTH BEFORE ORDERING TO MAKE SURE YOURS IS 1 INCH IN LENGTH.

Solenoid wiring terminals with the solenoid in hand and the shaft facing out in front of you, the right hand terminal is number four and connects to the relay. The left hand terminal connects to the kick down switch. A small amount of solenoids had a third wire that was a ground if yours is one of those check your shop manual and it will confirm where the third wire goes. Most solenoids had screw in terminals, a few had internal connections with wires coming out of the solenoid. Wiring connections for both are the same.
When changing the solenoid we recommend always changing the seal in the transmission. This will prevent oil from entering into your new solenoid.
There is a seal in the solenoid itself that can;t be changed in the field. The seal that you can change is in the transmission where the shaft goes through.

OD issues
I thought you might like a comment from someone without a problem for a change. My old Ford's Borg Warner overdrive has mystified me and intimidated me for decades. Thanks to you, your products, the included documentation and diagrams, and YouTube videos, that is no longer an issue! I just finished installing a new 12V solenoid from you. It appears to work flawlessly. And it was easy! Thanks for all you do!
