I am less concern with the handling capabilities that may take a hit by using the normally open solenoid and more concerned with the pressure applied during normal everyday driving by using what he has now. The FWD fuse in not meant for continual use and you all should know better.

Without changing the transmission or fiddling with the TCU programming which, no offense Alex, I don't believe he is capable of. The solenoid is the only way to partially cure the issue. Someone please get him a noramlly open solenoid so this issue can be resolved and the poor guy can drive his car again.

Yes this all could have been avoided if there was more education to the parts involved before he was sold the transmission I am sure he was promised would work. BUT that is in the past and the present issue is what needs to be addressed without and further delegation and debate between us. TRY it, if it doesn't work out, Trevor I tip my hat to you. If it does, we know one more thing that will help us in the future
