Nonlockup to Lockup

[Dr. D]

I installed an Art Carr 9" non-lockup converter about 12 years ago, and would like to return to a 10" lock up.
The problem I have is that I don't remember how I modified the valve body to accomodate the non-lockup so that I can change back.
I need a bit of help.

It may be as simple as swapping the non L/U valve, with a l/u valve, installing a new o-ring on the input shaft, installing a new TCC solenoid, and of course swapping the converter.

It was for mine.

I can't answer your question, but I'll take that Art Carr unit off your hands if you're gonna sell it

Geoff, weren't some of the check balls that were removed from valve body? Don't they need to be replaced?


Tow Man, I won't be doing the switch until it warms up a bit more. I can let you know when I have it out, just send me your e-mail address.

Not on mine. Just the items that I mentioned above.
