The later Model "J" Laycock is stronger & several modifications, including NOT to have to adjust the TRICKY Solenoid linkage.
Disassembling one is MOST interesting! The pump is a cam operated plunger, much like the one in a lever type Grease Gun, puts out something like 3,000 Lbs pressure! The solenoid directs pressure to 2 hydraulic pistons, which PULLS the cone clutch into the OVERDRIVE position. It's held in the DIRECT position by SPRINGS. It has a SPRAG clutch, that comes into play, in OVERDRIVE only.
When it doesn't work, it's likely LOW on OEL! Use ONLY ATF!
If MAJOR parts break, it costs you AN ARM/A LEG/AND YOUR SMARTEST CHILD!!! & "MAYBE" your DOG even!--LOL----The Dog's LAFFIN'---He's my "proof" reader.--NO, he duzn't do ANTI-PAIN-PILLS & COFFEE, like his Ol' Dad does!
