Just finished rebuilding my 1981 TH350c
Before I install it back in the car, I noticed the outside plug that connects to the transmission has 3-wires > however, one of those three connect to nothing!
Note the case socket...(only two connectors)
Inside the trans pan, the lock-up solenoid is a 'two-wire' thus only two connect to the backside of the blue case-socket.
Below is my lock-up solenoid and inside wiring...those two plugs connect to a pressure switch, that does bench test with air.
Here's the thing > since having my car 'new', I cant' say I've ever noticed the RPM dropping at highway speeds...almost like the lock-up never really functioned as should.
And, seeing a three-wire plug, and noticing only 'two-wires' actually connect to inside the trans has me thinking...was it wired wrong from the factory?
Does anything above appear to be wrong, is there any way I can test the three-wire plug to make sure it's doing what it should?
Thanks for any info.
