[DML] Re: Auto Trans behavior

["Harold McElraft" <hmcelraft@xxxxxxx>]

I have always assumed based on the diagnostic chart G:04:01 that you 
could not get correct pressures or correct clutch and brake 
application without the solenoids working. The chart implies that 
fluid is routed by the valves in drive and in 1 or 2 "hold". 
Therefore, I'm not surprised you have no 1st hold without the valves 
both "on". I'm not sure I would recommend manual shifting in 
the "limp" mode. I have used a by-pass switch that Ben Byrd had 
diagramed in one of his old DeLotech news letters years ago that 
allows you to shift the trans electrically in order to verify a 
defective trans computer. Works nicely in place of computer while 
waiting for the replacement or rebuild. Let me know if you need a 
copy of the article.

the trans behave in limp-home mode (i.e. when the CG fuse is blown)? Can it be fully manual-shifted or is it what I'm seeing?
