A torque converter that locks up will, physically lock the input shaft to the "flywheel" of the engine. this happens when you are cruising at a constant speed. if you have a converter that does not lockup, then this connection is never "locked", and the engine is always just spinning the turbine. This will reduce gas mileage, and increase heat inside the transmission. I would get a temp gauge on your trans ASAP. you're most likely going to need to add a cooler.
Still available?Rezlo said:Sorry It was by bad, I mixed up converters,
He now is the owner of a lock up unit,
I have a non lock up Drag ready 1G unit now laying on my shelf if anyone wants it, I will give a good discount because I honestly dont have the space in my shop, $400 and its yours,
Cheers
