you were talking about talking me through converting this trans from non-lockup back to lockup....i did some digging on the net and i found this...
- Here's exactly the procedure to convert a lockup pump to a non-lockup pump
on the 200-4R.
- 1) Remove checkball and casing from input shaft. (works with lockup to,
makes the lockup feel like another gear shift)
2) Remove lockup valve assembly from pump.
3) Replace with Art Carr's non-lockup valve.
4) Remove a cup plug from pump.
5) Tap cup plug oriface and insert hex screw, locking non-lockup valve in
place
- That's it. Going back to lockup isn't too big of a deal. The hardest part
was getting the cup plug to hold in the tapped oriface. I just expanded the
plug with a hammer.
I left the checkball out of the shaft. Feels like I
have five gears now when it locks up.
- BTW: You can keep both a lockup version and a non-lockup version pump lying
around, and the only change to go from one to the other would be switching
the pump and converter. I was going to do this so I ordered a pump from a
GSCA supplier. But I found the the stator support was a USED unit and it
was installed such that I couldn't remove it. So I just converted the non-
lockup pump back to a lockup.
is it that simple, i mean it doesn't look simple to me...but it sure doesn't seem like alot of steps....plus i was reading through the postons catalog and they have a non-lockup valve or something like that...could that be what i have in the trans...
one more thing, i drove the car about 60-70 miles back from the shop like that before i parked it...could i have hurt something...
for those of you who don't know what i'm talking about go to my last post in this section....
