Default Y3000 going in, need quick info for installer

Heya everyone, I'd appreciate some quick info on the Y3000 for the guys installing the converter, it's going in today and they asked me a few questions I didn't know the answers to:

1) Is the converter single or multi disc - did he mean clutches ? I think this has something to do with lockup ?

2) Is it supposed to lock up at WOT ?

3) The converters are PWM (pulse width modulated) right ? I think they are.

I think the factory ECM program doesn't lock up at WOT without some kind of manual switch or something, right ?

Just need some info to give the guys installing it. I'll make another post with results after the install today, should be ripping pavement by this evening ! <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Thanks in advance for the info !

Peace,
BadAss30th

#1&2: Yes, it's a lockup converter just like your stocker.

#3: Haven't a clue? What's the point?

No, they are not designed to lock up at WOT, and yes people have wired up switches to do that.
