Hi, the guy that built my engine recently put a non lockup converter on the trans, its a 700r4 and i didnt even know until i noticed the switch in the engine bay unhooked, now what is the easiest most reliable thing i can do to prevent over heating? thanks

 

anyone? the transgo shift kit (sk700) says

"Corrects/Prevents/Reduces: Absolutely prevents Stuck TV valve. Late shifts, downshift clunk; 3-4 clutch failure; no lockup; 2-4 band failure; early shifts; 1-2 slide/slide-bump; reverse delay hot; 2-3 cutloose;
reverse clutch failure. 83-87:
Kit lets you make Converter lockup-no wires needed."

will this kit also make my non lockup converter lockup?

 

still need some advice here guys...

 

If you put a non lock up converter in your car you cant make it lock up. Buy another converter.

 

are there any mods that can be done so it doesnt burn up the trans?

 

Purchase a good size external trans cooler to go inline with your current system (through the radiator). A temp gauge to monitor heat is also a good idea but not necessary.

 

before i buy a cooler is there such thing as too much cooling? im looking at one thats for 26,000 GVW will this be fine or should i go bigger?

 

Nope, the bigger the better. Run the fluid into the cooler before the radiator, this helps warm up the fluid faster (on cold days) and keeps the temp stabilized.

 

perfect, thanks

 

looks like im gonna get the Tru-Cool max, GVW is 40000, unless anyone knows of a better one for cheaper?
