Great explanation Dan <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />, that helps a lot!

Regarding the lock-up - is this a function of the trans or TC? It sounds like the lock-up would be activated by the trans, and would need to be connected to a lock-up enabled TC?

I think a manual lock-up would be the way to go. I don't anticipate many highway miles, but don't want to rule it out.

Hypothetically <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />, if one were to forget to turn off the manual lock-up when decelerating from highway speed, would the engine just stall out?
