Need TCC Lock up Switch for Dumbies

This is what I gathered thus far.

1. Purple (+) from brake switch to toggle switch
2. From Toggle to Harness
3. Ground from Trans Case to Pressure Switch pluged into the 4 gear port.
4. From pressure Switch to harness?

Please some one tell me this would work.

Re: Need TCC Lock up Switch for Dumbies

What is locking it up good for? Better gas mileage? What are the advantages and disadvantage?

Re: Need TCC Lock up Switch for Dumbies

I currenlty get 16 -18 mpg, and I plan on driving from KS to VA so I would like not to burn up the trans.

I do not have the wire harness that came with the car. I do have a connector and the pressure switch for the four gear port. I just wanted to know if I could use the wire coming from the brake switch for an ignition source.
