Can you deadhead a system without a return line, or is it already deadheading?

One of the first times I really did it on my own was this summer with my Saturn SL1. The transmission started shifting hard, then really hard. I guessed that I would need a new transmission, but I was looking for anyway I could to fix it without replacing it. I stumbled up a great youtube video about checking solenoids on this car (posted below) and it showed how to do an ohm test. It turned out that one of the solenoids was bad and I got a remanufactured one for $25. It’s been smooth ridding ever since. I still get quite the kick out of it knowing I did it.
