torque convertor lock-up

i might be going to be driving a vehicle that has had the ecm taken out of it , so the torque convertor won't lock-up, the only thing that will happen is lose some MPG's on the highway isn't it

You'll lose mileage and the transmission will run hot.

I've got a converter lockup kit from Dr. Evils Trans, yea I know crazy name, but it was cheap enough and works. My car has no ECM either but I run a 700R4. It uses a pressure switch with only a 2 wire hookup for it.

There are a couple companies that make the lockup kits. I would not recommend running it without something like this to control lockup.
