Default 4l80E Lock Up Question Help?

I swapped an 80 into my 2000 camaro just got it out, a couple of issues im wondering on, when the converter locks up it makes a bad clunking noise, when im driving at cruise speed it seems like the converter is locking and unlocking? Any sugestions.

Thanks!

Are you throwing an codes at all? I have read that if you are throwing codes it can force the converter to lock and unlock like you are describing. Not sure about the clunking sound.

loose converter bolts? tq arm bolts? send the converter in for inspection, have the lock apply slower.

If you didn't swap out your computer strategy when you swapped to an 80 you'll run into problems with converter lock-up, one of which could be the clunking noise you describe.
