Re: Installed 700R4 - Hook Up Lockup or not?

Once you're at speed and the trans shifts into OD, then the TC will lock up. As you slow down and the trans downshifts out of OD the TC will unlock. No issue with stalling out at a light.

When I first set up mine, I did the whole kit that incorporated the brake light switch and the vacuum switch. It was all extra wiring that added no functional value to the lockup operation, so I simplified it to what I described above.
I have wondered how this is dont for quite some time. Does it lock up as soon as it shifts into OD?
