i was not thinking lock up -- but now that i am how does it survive the transision from clutch / clutch - Direct ( high speed ) and engage the lock in the convertor @ 3000 -- driveshaft speed has to match the convertor lock in RPM - OR it has to slam the stater support real hard -- or does a valve body get a mod thats nessessary so it will only go to lock up throttle off ?????/ - i am interested to know how it works -- the early 700 R$ trans was all the time stripping the snout gear off the pump ??? ( stator support ) 82 to maybe 86 -- i have done these but for the most part they are weak -- all pressed steel hubs ( sheet metal is a better word ) i dont get it but thats ok -- jz
