2nd run complete. Working great.
Observations:
TC lock does not engage in first gear. The safety there is still working even with the bypass switch. Not really a problem since I spend very little time in first. My driveway will have to be slushed. Fitting, really.
Second gear is pretty long so I have to start unlocked but I can get locked at about 40Kph / 25mph. A little below that on the flat and it needs to be going about 45kph / 30mph to do the hills here without bogging. (I'm not sure of the rpm shift points yet.)
Shifting into 3rd is not harsh at all under the conditions I tried it (slight up grade). There is a little "mount bounce" after the shift but it's very mild.
I believe OD is really just fourth gear so that has to be disengaged or it will shift into OD too soon after 3rd. The tree is really a pain for this type of driving so I'm dreaming of finding a suitable shift lever to replace the original.
OK, that's the last smiley.
You can see the lockup switch elegantly taped to the tree, my digital vac gauge (thanks Vtec-e) and my temporary, tacky low tech tach.
I like the washer fluid button in this pic. It's all "OH...OH...pick me...pick meeeee."
I need to figure out which of these wires is for solenoid one and two. I already know the green/yellow is #3

This just shows how easy it is to find on the Egg. (Small mercy) The ECU is the
ONLY thing engine-wise that's easy yo get to.
