Some 89's had a lockup torque converter. Check for R in the tranny code on the dside of the tranny. Worth having. You can see the lockup on the tach at about 42mph as about a 2-300rpm drop. On level or downhill gentle accel (you have to get into o/d early) it feels like an additional shift. Let it get hot and idle it for 5 minutes. If the valve stem seals are leaking, you will see oil smoke on a throttle blip. Not responsible for advice not taken... Re: 1st Generation Montero VS...
