200-4R lock-up control

[Tony_SS]

I have a Bowtie Overdrives 200-4R. It locks up right after it shifts into OD. And to disengage the lockup, the wiring is run to the brake switch.. The brake turns off the lockup. This is pretty annoying when driving in 30-50mph stop and go traffic... its ends up 'lugging' if I keep it in OD.

I thought of 2 solutions... either wire up a toggle switch that keeps the lock up off until I'm on the hwy and ready for it OR wire up a vacuum switch that turns off the lockup under higher vacuum conditions.. i.e. no lockup under acceleration to avoid lugging.

What is everyone else doing?

I wired in a toggle switch and put it on the center console near the shifter. I'd turn lock-up off in city driving, flip it on when I hit the highway or if I needed to cool down the fluid. Fairly simple solution that solved the issue for me.

Does this look correct?

Above is how it's currently set up... below is the lighted switch I'll be adding...
