Convertor lockup.
I know what i need to do to the tranny if i remove the ecm.As I only drive the car occasionally,could i leave the fix for a bit or is it bad to drive at all,with no lockup,in regards to slippage.

Do it as soon as possible, and avoid cruising for long distances in 4th until you do.
Are you sure your car has an ECM?

Re: Convertor lockup.
The 200-4R and the 700R4 TCC's are controlled the same way, the only difference is in the physical arrangement of parts inside the valvebody.

It's in carburetors because only carbureted setups don't have a computer to take care of such things.

Re: Convertor lockup.
You could, but it's easy enough to at least wire a switch through the ALDL like in the tech articles.

Re: Convertor lockup.
That could be the best way to go.I dont like to change too many things at once.Just makes it harder to track and solve issues.
