I need a manual lock up switch for my torque converter, does anyone know where they sell them, I found one in jegs but I don't really like it.

Thanks everyone

 

Which one did you find and why didn't you like it?

 

What he said above, and how much control do you want?

the one I saw was the one where you just turn a dial to the MPH you want it to lock up at. but I saw one in the camaro performance magazine that some guy had and it was just a switch you can turn off or on. The reason I don't like the dial one is because if I am out on the street I don't want to have to turn the **** so that the lockup won't come on if I am racing. I just want to be able to switch it on or off as I please and not just set it on a dial.

Hope you get what I am saying, I don't really know how to explain it.
Thanks everyone

 

Ok, the one you're thinking of is the B&M kit, which has a part that goes inline with the speedo cable to lock up above a certain speed. I believe it also has a vacuum switch that unlocks the TCC under load, but I'm not sure.

It sounds like you just want a manual switch, in which case you can just use any old toggle switch.

 

short the top left and the top right pins on the ALDL connector together using a switch,mount the switch right on your shifter if you can,full lock up in 2nd is great!

 

Wut exactly does locking ur converter do, im also thinking about installing one, but i want more info on how it helps,
