    amuller, I understand what you are saying, but you got the wrong motor. This one has the Mag CD. No "amplifier" and no longer any problem getting enough voltage to it. The Mag CD generates its own voltage, that’s why it has to be cranking >200 RPM.

    I don’t see where the OP said he is having any problem with the shift, except for it popping into forward gear when not running—which it is supposed to do. When it stops. the oil pump stops, and there is no hydraulic pressure to hold it in neutral (or reverse) so it defaults to forward gear.
