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.

i think it is used to keep your vacuume advance from working untill you get into 4th gear.... or something like that.

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.
Ian
