Arthur,

Thanks for the explicit notes.

I have disconnected the little black wire that comes up from the Delay Shift solenoid and driven it around for a few days.

So far, I have noticed no perceivable difference how soon this delayed shift takes place, warm or cold engine temp.

Reconnected and run a while (100 miles plus) and then disconnected it again, and still it persists.

I will try the vac testing in the next few days and report back...

Thanks again.
