I got one, it works. Currently I have bypassed the vacuum switch part of it. It locks up when it shifts into 4th gear AND the switch I added is turned on. With the switch off, it never locks up. I did this to have more control. The vacuum switch did work, before I bypassed it.

Did you notice any difference in quality of the shifts or anything to that effect?

Thanks a bunch.
