Default Muncie 4-speed switch?

I have a switch mounted on the 4th gear shaft that has us a little confused. According to the AIM the switch is called a TCS (transmission controlled solenoid?)

Does anyone know the function of this switch? According to the wiring diagrams I have it controls a solenoid on the intake. I believe in an automatic it part of the kick-down circuit, but I can't understand what it does in a 4-speed application.

it is part of the emmisions system....

That answers my question. Thanks for posting the link. From what I just read, I don't think I'll be connecting it.

Thanks again.
