Don't worru about undue strain. The only undue strain that can ever occur is overrunning the TL GEAR BOX. The gear box is the ONLY part that can be strained.

Note that MrPB's advice about running your manual switch thru the limiters switches is good advice. HOWEVER that ASSUMES that the limniter switches are in good condition AND/OR some previous owner did NOT fill the TL gear box with chassis grease or some other type of heavy grease.

Since this car is exhibiting such significant problems i advise to simply run two wores from the motor to the manual switch and then a fused hot wire to the manual switch from some convenient source.

Once the bugs are worked out then go back a few months later and start rewireing to your hearts content.

I've bee nrunning my 56 Exec for 12 years and 25K miles without going thru the limit switches and using only the manual switch on the dash. NO PROBLEMS!!!

I DO HAVE to be careful not to run it up or down too far. But that is not rocket science to determine when the car is about level. I have 2wo eyes and some sense of balance and ability to know if i am going up or down.
