Well have a look at the link above to Trevor's post.

I recently did mine using the pins through wires system that Trevor advocates. Worked very well. First I checked the voltage of the centre wire of the old TPS. It was 0.48 volts. The resistance across the two end wires, red and black, was 4800 ohms.

I put in the new TPS, set the voltage at 0.50 by rotating the position, and tightened up. The resistance across the new potentiometer was the same, c.4800 ohms, so I set sail.

Gear changes are a lot better, very smooth, and for a set throttle opening, it will tend to hold 2000 rpm, and the speed seems to wind up by magic as it seamlessly changes up, and uses the TC as a multiplier.

However, I still have a problem. It sometimes revs up to 5000 or more RPM when charging away from a junction. No rapid forward thrust, just revs, I ease off, it catches a gear, up around 60 it's like there never was a problem.

Any ideas??

You would think it was the 2-3 flare, maybe it is. But put it manually in 2, give it welly, and it goes rapidly with no slippage, no high revs, then ease off, and you get engine braking, just like a manual gear. So I feel it is not ratio 2 slipping

Any help much appreciated.
