I told you on your other post.... Keep it under 35 mph and the torque converter should not lock up. That should be enough operating range to test your theory.

well tried you idea,, the converter is locking up @ 28-30 mph under very light throttle on a flat surface,, how I know is,, as soon as it starts to bucking,I depress on the brake peddle and the rpm goes up by 1-2 hundred rpm and the bucking stops, I guess it goes back to the pwm of the lock-up circuitry..
so too me,, it's the converter.. thanks for all you patience with my problem..
now just to see if I can un hook the lock-up without damaging the trans??
