Default 200r4 lockup wiring

On the lockup wiring when you press on the brakes the power going into the transmission shouldshut down correct?

Yes, the brake pedel should cut power to the convertor but as soon as you let off it will ock back up.
I don't like that because some times I haven't slowed down enough for the trans to downshift on its own yet enough that the motor starts to lugg, like 30-35 mph. so I end up having to manually downshift.
I would like to give one of these a try, it will automatically unlock the convertor under 40mph:

Glad to know I got it right didn't want to do any more hesd stands under the dash, Redwing I think I read where you mentioned the B&M before I looked at it sounds like good system but my CC transducer is broken inside so my speedo doesn't work I am trying to find a unit local before I send off.

If anyone is using one of these, sure would like to know how well it works. Thinking about getting one.
