Good tip for you AODE guys.

I did the right wire. If you look at some of the threads they say that started to not work.

thats weird. i've been reading the old posts for a while now and i havent read that. i've read that it works. one guy has been using it for awhile now with success.

I'm not sure I understand this. Why is a locked converter bad? I thought lockup was good, giving the engine to transmission a 1:1 drive ratio...

I've got an Edge Racing 3000 RPM lockup converter, and when my converter locks at 3K the car rips forward.

I'm confused by this thread.

It ISN'T bad to have a locked converter. A locked converter is always faster than an unlocked converter. 99% efficiency vs. ~70% efficiency. I think they don't like the way it locks and unlock on the street. This all could be fixed with a chip/tune you could just have it locked when at WOT or not at all if you choose.

I was saying you don't want 100% lockup on a stock converter or a converter thet is not made for it. The stock cal for a 95-94 is for it to lock but still slip some so your not getting a true 100% lockup. Really unless it's not a multi disc converter it's not good for them.

Under 350 RW torque it's OK to run a stock, single disk converter - no harm done. There is a bit of slip, but not much. The EEC is programmed stock to allow some slip between shifts - but it's generally already unlocked for shifts.

like Don said. its not bad. just annoying for me. when i'm driving at around 50 km/h and the converter locks up, and i decide to give it some more throttle like to pass someone, it wont unlock (it should almost feel like a downshift when it unlocks). when you tap on the brake it feels like it downshifts out of lockup.

moving the lockup to higher speed VIA a tune/chip would be the best way to avoid this but for now this works.
