I Just Purchased A 83 Fleetwood, And Seem To Be Having Some Problems With The Shifting Down. When I Come To A Stop(it Acts Like It Is A Standard And I Forgot To Put The Clutch In)! When I Take Off The Same Thing With Slow Take Off And Not Wanting To Go. I Was Told By A Friend It Probably Was A Solenoid Problem, Is There More Than One? If So Should I Replace All Of Them? Or Does Anyone Know What This Problem My Be? Any And All Help Greatly Appreciated.

Thanks

It sounds like your "torque convertor lock-up" (electic), won't unlock. Find the wires plugged into your tranny and unplug them. You don't really need it.
