The Ford Barn - View Single Post - No reverse BW R-10

I couldn't sleep so I went out and removed the lever that holds the cable that works the overdrive. I was thinking that maybe the cable was not moving it enough to bring the sungear into the planetary gear. I manually shut the overdrive off at the transmission (to simulate pulling out the cable) and started the car. No reverse.

I was wondering if I had the solenoid in right and the pawl could be blocking the rail so I took the solenoid out. It was in right. Put it back in, started the car. No reverse.
