c.hydes Posted May 19, 2022 Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 HI all, I'm trying to fix my non-engagement of overdrive when it gets hot. Forum suggestions suggest new o rings in solenoid as well as cleaning the internal filter behind the overdrive sump plate. I Dont mind buying the spanner for removing the solenoid but the two pronged filter cover tool (L354A), is quite expensive. So, does anyone have the exact dimensions for the diameter and spacing for the two pins, or perhaps could measure if they have the tool, so I can manufacture something suitable? Cheers, Colin.

I think I used a pair of circlip pliers. They shouldn't be too tight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Martin adjustable spanner wrench #482 or equivalent Volvo special tool # 2836 or 999 2836 Make your own tool from an old 1/2 socket I have read and not verified that the pin diameter equals 5mm Search: J+Type+Overdrive+Part+II.PDF The author of this article made the tool.

peter clarke Posted May 21, 2022 Report Share Posted May 21, 2022 Pair round nose pliers to fit in the holes and a screwdriver to apply some leverage between the jaws Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TonyC Posted May 22, 2022 Report Share Posted May 22, 2022 I used one one those adjustable tools for fitting/ removing angle grinder wheels. Worked a treat and cheap as chips. TonyC Quote Link to post Share on other sites

c.hydes Posted May 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2022 Thanks for all the replies on the tool required to remove the filter plate and two others behind the j type overdrive sump plate. My concern with using the "punch, and other improvised pliers" etc., is that on replacing the cover plates you can`t tighten to the correct torques as specified in the WSM? Also these cover plates haven't seen the light of day for 23 years, so suggest the maybe quite tight? Guess this is why I would prefer making something similar to the Churchill L354L tool with a nut for my torque wrench. Regards, Colin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
