Can anyone give me the dimensions of the copper washer used for the 'J' type overdrive solenoid please (NKC108)? I believe it's 3/4" ID.

I have seen a copper washer used but the correct part is a NKC108 which is a crush washer which I believe is specifically designed to withstand hydraulic pressure as it will need to stop approx 400psi leaking when O/D is selected.

That's interesting Richard. As you know I have rebuilt several overdrives over the years (Sprint) but they all had copper washers on them. I don't recall ever seeing one with a crush washer.
