Hi DarylB,

Well, where do I get my hands on a TC like that? :idea: Looks tough.
Does it have the needed reduced stall setting of 1200?
Any idea on price and performance?

Best Regards,
George

Thank you DarylB!

That info saves a lot of time and headaches!

I'm looking at those specs and it shows 800 stall, wondering how well it works and runs. (curious since every trans guy's been telling me 1200 stall)

That price is for the converter and includes the welded-on modification?

My specs:
4BT, P30 GM auto adapter, stock P30 flexplate/crankspacer/wave ring,
700R4 from a 4x4 diesel (slightly built), NP208 Transfer, and a GV gear splitter (gives me 8 gears in 2WD---700R ratios great for diesel but they are WIDE for the 4BT shift points).

Hope this isn't considered a thread hijack, seems relavent though...

Best Regards,
George

Yeah, I'm considering that one too. I found one website (I believe at transmissioncenter.com) selling the processor for manual lock, 3-4, and 2-3 with three separate switches in the cab. I also found an article that leaves it all hydraulically activated, thus "hands-off" completely, so the options are out there...

...the 700R varied in degree of elect control as they developed. Pre-87 are def weaker mechanically as well, unless they've been rebuilt with the proper upgrades.

"Using the built-in lockup in 4th gear via pump pressure."

does that have the lockup cancellation coming from the brake sensor?

(just two wires coming out of the trans I think)
