non l/u to l/u

can a non l/u converter be converted to a l/u??

 

[pacecarta]

a trans with a non lockup can be converted back to run with a lockup converter , theres some mods made to the tranny to allow a non lockup converter to work and this needs to be changed back to allow a lockup converter to be installed , but even after the mod to the trans to return it to lockup the converter will also need to be lockup unit

i suppose its possible to take a non lockup converter and open it up and install clutch pack to make it lockup but the rebuild would be the same as if you were rebuilding a lockup converter , but you would need the internal parts and possiblbly a new front cover and i dont think it would be cost effective , better to sell the non lockup to someone looking for one and purchase a lockup converter

= ,
if your trans is setup for a lockup converter (as stock would be ) and you want to go to nonlock converter the trans needs to be modified for it

You will need to remove the non lock up valve from the pump. May be an Art Carr, or a Trans Go kit, and replace with a lock up valve. Also, you will need a seal for the input shaft. You do not need the check ball in the end.
Also, you will need a lock up solenoid, and correct plug in the trans, and 3rd and 4th gear pressure switches for GN use.
