So I've found the duty 2/4 solenoid has failed so decided to order a replacement which hasn't arrived as we speak. I repaired the broken tab in my solenoid as per your video on you tube but my question is, when I power the solenoid across a battery its clicks like a relay as expected, but I was expecting a heavier clunk, can you confirm if that sounds about right? Hard to tell from a message I realise but how would you describe its bench operation? CheersI my experience, the Jatco box takes 3.8 to 4.2L to change, and isn't super fussy about the level being mm perfect.
It's perfectly OK to drain it, measure the quality that came out, and put back the same amount, as long as around 4L comes out.

I can't remember the resistance of the duty solenoid, but 2.7 Ohm seems a bit low. That's over 60 Watts at battery voltage, which seems a lot for a small coil. I guess it must be correct, but it's worth checking against the specifications.Perfect. Thanks for the reply. It's showing 2.7ohms
