I Busted One Of The Bolts For Automatic Over-drive, Solenoid .....Will One Bolt be enough ?
I BUSTED ONE OF THE BOLTS FOR Automatic Over-Drive Solenoid trying to remove so I could do the hole mod or buy new Solenoid block off kit, so now I am Worried one bolt might not keep enough pressure on the seal............am I in trouble?
I test drove for a mile and came back and checked for leaks and found none...Yet
What say you experts?
Do I need a whole new trans ?
Can I get by with only one bolt.....is there very much fluid pressue there at Solenoid?
I started this project because My Over drive is shorting out when I go over bumps its comes back then goes out over the next set of bumps, so I figured I would just do the mod and be done with it...

Did you justbreak the bolt itself, or the part the bolt attaches to?

Well you said that you test drove it with the one bolt out, and no leaks. Ifyou can find a bolt to fit in there temporarily that would be best,butleave itand wait to see what tech or some oneelse thinks.
You could do the solenoid mod or you could get IPD's ODsolenoidbypass kitso it will actlike a normal 4speedtransmission.

Good luck.

[align=left]Don't freak out, it's not that bad. If it was my car, I'd get out the ol'e silicone and seal it up that way. If you're really crazy, you can drop the trans, drill and tap out the broken bolt and you're as good as new. No new trans is necessary. I'd try to silicone it for sure, you don't need too much, and the existing bolt should hold it fine.

Was it really tight when it broke?
Or maybe did you by accident turn it the wrong way and break it off?
Sorry ti ask such a stupid question but if it is seized in there you will need to drop the tranny.

it was really tight, and as experience has taught me I loosened it a little then tightened it a little working it slowly out , it was getting nice and loose for a few mm then got tight again on its way up and out then broke, I got it to come up and out about 8mm "maybe 7 threads" the head has about 5 to 7 threads on it that broke off....
I was taking my time and being careful but could not avoid it breaking obviously..$%&^*!!

I drove the car today down 50 miles to my brothers work, he work at a front end shop and works with a volvo guy, there were absolutley NO Leaks So I figured along with them to pull the tranny and we will remove the broken bolt.................but that will be in about a month or so if we do it, in the mean time I am going to put on the bypass plate when it comes and I will use some Yamabond 4 Gasket goop to insure a tight fit with the one bolt, since the solenoid bracket did not leak at all I figure this may be good enuff........here is the Yamabond 4
