Today I tried the mod that allows you to keep the tranny from shifting out of 1st/second on my '88 XJ auto tranny, using Billvista's directions, which say to cut the yellow and wire it to the a & b posts, while the "c" post goes to ground. I did this ground by just grounding it to the chassis. (Initially I
grounded it through the light in the shift indicator, but same result.)
All I seem to get is third gear only (maybe second?) in both settings of the switch, but it's hard to tell. BTW, I actually soldered my connections, so I'm fairly sure that is not the issue.
I have not tried to bypass the mod to see if restoring it makes the tranny work right, or not.
Any suggestions as to what I may have done wrong?

PS, I noticed that my oil pressure guage is reading off the charts now too, so I may have messed something up... :doh:
