You’ll want to purchase a new solenoid assembly. It’s available from Moss #80 on page 41 – 466-375. Remove the remainder of the solenoid assembly with a pair of needle nose or duck bill pliers. The piece you’re trying to remove looks like a top hat and you’re looking at the bottom of it.
I’d clean out the overdrive and replace the O rings right now while it’s out.
Oh – if it’s a top fill gearbox, then it’s probably set up for 1280 turns per mile on the speedo cable; if it’s a side fill gearbox, then it’s probably set up for 1000 turns per mile. You want the later, 1000 tpm for your car, or the speedo will read 25% fast.
Except for the wiring, it’s a straight drop in. Make CERTAIN you check the 4th gear switch about 20 times. After installation it’s the least accessible electrical component in the vehicle. It’s at the right front of the top of the remote control assembly.
Hope this helps.
SAFETY FAST!
