I have a 700R4 with a lockup converter that has an electric connection.

When the trans reaches the OD you can feel the lockup shortly after.

1) When OD is reached does the trans open a pressure valve to supply the converter lockup clutches?

2) And is full pressure put on the drive gear clutches regardless of TV position?

thanks
