    Yes just spray it good with some PTFE spray. You don't want to just replace it as they cost over $70.00 now for a stupid little on-off switch and only a few places carry them !

    I'm glad my unfortunate mistake could help someone else. At first I wasn't going to post that since it was a really boner mistake I made. I went straight from problem, "bypassing troubleshooting" into repair. That's a problem even us old crusty mechanics fall prey to. I forgot the number one...

If it doesn't then the problem is in the transmission. If it does (shift right away) then your getting "to much" vacuum to the modulator valve. Then...
