Not the usual problems.
AFAIK the solenoid works, but the guy I got the engine from wasn't the most careful in handling it and the wires that come out of the right side solenoid were sheared off about 1/2 inch out from the end. Thinking I can solder it back together and shrink tube it.
The engine it's replacing is the same series, 2001 2.7l set up for tiptronic. And I'm transferring the tiptronic wiring and other stuff over. The old engine has a couple of known good solenoids, and I'm not afraid to take the valve covers off to recover them.
I am kinda reluctant to disturb the replacement engine, tho. It doesn't appear to leak. And I don't have a holding tool. Dammit, those tools are crazy expensive for what you get! Too bad there isn't a traveling loaner tool, some of the motorcycle forums have specialized tools that make the rounds.:ah:
