200r4/2004r lockup switches...

Hey guys, I hav been reading up about the 200r4 trans and noticed a lot of people stating they had problems coming out of lockup. I was wondering if anyone had contemplated a mechanical WOT switch rather than a vacuum operated switch? Seems like it would be easy to make a small bracket with a micro switch for the throttle lever to dwpress at WOT. I have built them for nitrous systems on motorcycles, couldn't be too hard on an sbc.

DITTO - Bowtie kit works well. I even installed it myself.

I will probably have my big block longhorn with 700R down at Rodneys Cycle Shop on I-30 Saturday at the NSRA appreciation day.

Re: 200r4/2004r lockup switches...

ok, question, why would I want my TC to lock up in 2nd&3rd gear? I was always under the impression that lock up was for overdrive only?
