Subject: Re: 1984 Crossfire to Carb Conversion by docwilcar65 on 2012/7/17 15:44:09 I should have mentioned in my Carb Conversion Post that you will need to do a mod to your 700R4 trans to keep the torque converter lock up function as you lose this without the ECM signal. There are various lock up kits that are sold on Jegs and Summit to accomplish this. You can also buy a $6 4th gear pressure switch (normally open) and take out the old normally closed pressure switch and then install the NO switch in the valve body. You will then take the ground wire that is on the TCC solenoid and remove the end to where it is connected and then run it to the 4th gear pressure switch you just installed in the valve body. This will eliminate the dreaded in and out torque converter lock up in 2nd and 3rd gear but will lock up when the trans shifts into 4th gear. You need to drop the trans pan to do this mod but is an easy installation and maybe you are due for a new trans. filter and ATF change anyway!! |
