Got the trans back together and went for a test drive this afternoon. I fixed my problem with
the lockup TC solenoid that was blowing fuses ....yeah !!! But the harder problem to solve was
the the shift timing controlled by the governor. There did NOT seem to be much of a change at part
throttle or WOT. Wow that was scary, hard to test shift points at WOT when the car wants to
go sideways when it shifts into 2nd and 3rd.
I added a spring to the secondary side and increase the spring force on the primary side. All colors
are my chosing, they are not factory. Just in case someone is reading this and has a 200-4R.
Looks like I am going to have to take a heavy weight and do some grinding so that it is lighter
than stock, but heavier than the original CKP governor. I was hoping that I could do this with
just a spring change.
My short that was blowing fuses was caused by the heat shrink that I used was NOT compatible with
high temps and ATF. It swelled up and exposed my solder connections causing the short to ground.
I ordered some shrink tubing from Wire Care that is supposed to be up to the task.

If you are trouble shooting a lockup solenoid problem, then the resistance should be about
20 to 24 ohms of resistance.
If one of the connectors on the 4th gear pressure switch is not protected, they can touch each
other. Therefore I bought the white connector you see on the pressure switch below instead
of using shrink tubing this time.
Just in a few thousand miles you can see the metal slurry that the magnets will attract. I bought
the round disk Neodymium Magnets from KJ Magnetics. They are high temp, since temps can
exceed the effective range of some magnets reducing or eliminating their attractive force. I've
used these magnets in the engine valley and oil pan. The horseshoe magnets are from some old
computer hard disk drives and were free, so I had nothing to loose.

Below the transmission pan is all cleaned up from all the metal slurry. If you have ever tried to
wipe metal off a magnet it is nearly impossible to get everything off. So I used some Modeling Clay
and push it into all the crevices, pulled it off and folded it over and cleaned the magnets over and
over with this process. The clay will pull the metal off the magnet.
