Transmission/Switch pitch question

Well I'm happy with my new transmission, except for one small problem when I use the brake to activate the switch pitch it blows fusses, they don't blow instantly, its when you're backing up or something like that where you might be tapping the brake allot, so I'm wondering how big a fuse can be used with out harming anything, I was using 7.5 Amp fusses

 

Yes the 7.5 amp is a inline fuse for the sp feed only

 

OK thanks Larry I will get the car up on stands and check the wiring

 

Since it worked before, you may have a short to gnd inside the trans. The insulation tends to get hard & fall off the solinoid wires at this age. I try to rework with TEFL*N insulated wire. The early solinoid were about 18 ohms, or 3/4A draw. Later ones were 10 ohms, about 1.4A draw. Bruce Roe

 

the wires all checked good but theres trans fluid coming out the wire contacts on the solinoid

 

Isolate the short by unplugging things, then track it down. The stator solinoid & the wire next to it can't be seen unless the trans is apart. Bruce
