2 ???: Which line is feed/return; has any one converted OD switch to TC lock up?

[definitiveno]

Does any one have a picture that could help me identify which lines on the trans are feed/return and also what would it take to correctly control my TC lock up function with the OD switch?

Thanks for any help regarding these issues.

Is that how it looks from the mechanics view looking into the engine bay? Just trying to index this system/picture to the engine bay...

Because I would use it more than controlling OD I would like to make my OD button control my TC lock up function. To control my OD I was thinking of installing another toggle, perhaps by my knee or on the dash. The only time I would disable my OD is to drag race and I would use my TC lock up every day for daily driving. I need to control my temps and my tcu doesn't seem to know when it should lock up my 9 inch billit. It stays unlocked when the car is cruising and some times locks up when you ask the car to pass. My temps are erratic because of the slipping as well. Any help in figuring out how to run the wiring for this would be very helpful.

when did you get your converter? If you have the PI 9", they haven't made one with the TCC still there since like 2 years ago. They remove the TCC because they had issues with them failing.

Also even though in the chip it should be bumped up to keep you out of 4th a bit longer, I still wouldn't recommend leaving it in OD all the time. Knowing that we have a weak end clutch. Should keep it in off except on the highways where you are going fast enough to require it.

I bought my TC several years ago, it definitely has a lock up function and it seems to fumble around a bit. All things considered i still would like to control my lock up function with my OD button. I would simply be using that switch for the TC far more than I would be activating and deactivating OD.

Oooh, question about the torque converter. Were they failing because they were trying to lock up under a load or were they already locked and failing under a load?
