Does anyone have this setup that works correctly?  I have a tech service manual that helps some, but not completely.  The overdrive works fine when going into overdrive, but will not come out of overdrive unless you stop completely (which hurts when going up a long hill). 
 
There is a kick down button on the shifter which apparently does not work and I think it may be the problem.  The wiring diragram looks fairly simple going to the overdrive relay, but the terminals are not marked (#1, #2, NC, NO, NC, and B).
 
There are several tests that can be done to check the wiring, but you have to know which terminal is which.
 
Thanks.

Yes and no.  Some of the colors look to be the same, such as blue and green.  But there are brown wires and orange wires that the diagram doesn't have.  According to the diagram, the terminals should be marked with letters and numbers, but I can't find them.

Howdy! My home computer is down and I'm just now seeing this at work. I should be up and running again tonight and maybe help a bit. Wink
