I only have access to a wiring diagram for a 76 TR6 but on this
diagram there is no speed lockout, only a 3rd/4th switch and a reverse
switch. The reverse switch doesn't come into play because the solenoid
can only get power when the 3/4 switch is closed (which presumable
happens only when the car is 3rd or 4th gear if the switch is
functioning correctly).
The idea of a speed lockout is interesting, I wonder how it
would work?
