Your awesome subford, Thanks a million. I didnt waqnt to hook it straight off the P/Y wire because the draw of the LED might keep the tranny from seeing the correct voltage needed for lockup.
I didnt want to hook up the "switch" just yet...Im undecided on whether or not thats a good idea, my tranny is already slipping in reverse. I would just like to "monitor" and see when the ECU decides it wanted to use lockup.
So, In my case, this would work? Also, is that a dual fused link for the LED?

The 1 Amp fuse is for the LED circuit.
I would think if the transistor in the Computer can ground a solenoid then and added LED would not matter but I do not know for sure.

No I have not heard any negative opinions on using the switch.
I use the switch for keeping the clutch in while going down steep hills for engine braking.
Because if I do not use the switch the clutch will disengage as soon as I touch the brake.
Of course I have to push the button in that is in the end of the shifter also to go into third gear when going down steep hills.
Just do not forget to turn the switch off before coming to a stop,

IS it an issue shifting in and out of 3rd and 4th with it locked? Hard shifts, internal damage...etc...

By the way hard shifts are easier on the transmission than smooth shifts.
Smooth shifts means more ware on the clutch disks in the transmission and will generate more heat.
