Re: 700R4 Lock-up question

First Ole Greenie - thank you for your service to this country.
I have a 200 4R in my burb with 3.07 gears. It will shift into 4th (OD) and lock up the converter at about 45, which lugs somewhat as I am only at about 1200 rpms. When not on the highway, I run it in 3rd (1:1) and have a manual switch that will manually lock up the converter in 2nd and 3rd. When using it this way, I have to remember to flip the switch when coming to a stop to unlock the TC. Perhaps you might want to do a similar set up as it would save you from changing out the rear gears. I got my wiring kits from Bow Tie OD's.
