I have had the incredible Muncie 3sp+od these last ten years but it was a change for the better. In it's Muncie form I did not use the governor. I used a simple on/off switch powered by the key on/off to the solenoid.
In the Saginaw I would like to use the governor w/o a kickdown either on the carb or under the accelerator. In short, I would like to use the governor to switch on the solenoid via a relay; I would also like to be able to operate an on/off switch to enable the transmission when in overdrive to downshift into 3rd regular.
30- swiched power
85- ?
86- ?
87- ?
Please don't include any Chevy or Ford or any other manufacturer diagrams as they don't use a modern Bosch relay and they use a kick-down which I desire not to use.
Thanks for all help and experiences.
Regards,
Cosmo
