You guys running A500/518/ 46R etc OD autos..........?

Great thanks. I almost "thunk" there was something wrong. This is in the project "White Whale III" which will not go into lockup or OD on the computer. No errors that I can find. So I cut the 'puter wires for the two solenoids, and had to install two junk relays from there to the +12 to keep the computer "happy."

Then leaving the +12 to the transmission, I wired the ground side of the relays to two toggles, but as you say it "takes a moment"

This is an RE, not an RH, 2001 Dodge 2500 2WD

I've been thinking of installing an "all manual" valve kit
