This is the kit I've been running since 2006. It has a brake switch so when you hit the brakes the TC unlocks. Unfortunately, you will need to drop the pan again:

Yes, install the lockup. When the TC is locked it reduces slippage, which reduces heat, which reduces wear. |
I agree, when I copied the link I thought it had the brake switch like the Bow Tie Overdrive kit. My apologies. Definitely hook up the lock up, you'll be much happier in the end and dropping the pan is easy enough. Also, install a nice aftermarket trans cooler if you haven't already. The one in the radiator is not very efficient.
