how to shove a 90 440t4 in place of a 88 125c in a POS 88 cutty ciera

^^ sorry to hear the, maybe something became unplugged, cause you had the gears before... something may have changed

the 440t4 is a hydrostatic trans...it shouldnt be solenoid controlled like the 4t60e

oh yeah, the whole hydraulic controlled thing, X pressure is higher than Y pressure so Check ball b moves to position two.... a Hydraulic copmuter if you will...... I know you know this stuff like 10x more than me, but aren't there a few vacuum actuators(two of em right) that you can check before tearing into it too far
