Hey all,

I have an 82 T/A with the carb and metric 200c trans. I ripped off all the emissions stuff, and pulled the ECM and harness out of the car. I am swapping the ECM controlled Distributer for a vacuum advanced on and all that. My question is, while taking out the ECM control harness for the Q-Jet and Distributer, I cam across two wires that lead down to the trans, in doing some research on the Metric 200c i found that they have a lock up converter that was computer controlled? Being only a 3-speed trans i found this odd, anyways what's a guy to do in order to correct this problem, i don't intend on swapping out the trans anytime soon since it works great.....and suggestions?

The lock-up function isn't as important on a non-O/D transmission. If you wanted to keep it, you could figure out a way to control it the same way you would for a 700R4.

how much will this shorten the life on my 200c?

Apeiron

It won't really shorten it at all.

awesome, cause i left the two wires chillen in the engine bay in case id have to futz with it, what difference will i notice as i drive it since it doesnt lock up, will i even notice anything?

MY CONVERTER DOESN'T LOCK UP. I NOTICE HIGHER RPMS AT CRUISING SPEED AND WORSE GAS MILEAGE.

Not for long they dont. They only run it because its light, and they usually swap it out every run or two when it fails.

Shame on you. *cough cough*
