lockup problems...

I went to the track Saturday and made about 10 NA passes. Now after about 10 minutes of driving my converter unlocks and won't lock back up, any ideas? The only tuning I have is Hypertech for shift points. Prior to this it was a flawless converter. I'm stuck with manually locking it up and that sucks, and I'm not even sure it's okay to be doing that. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Re: lockup problems...

How does your fluid look / smell???

Does it smell burnt at all???

Does it chatter any when you manually lock it up?

The fluid is fine, I change it regularly. Doesn't look or smell bad at all. Still locks up perfect manually.

Re: lockup problems...

My car started this after the 12 bolt (3.73's). But it was a little different. Mine jumped in an out of LU.

Ed Wright Tuning cured it and TM <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> .

Re: lockup problems...

After paying more attention to mine and not locking it up so soon manually I noticed it is unlocking and locking up as I drive. Any idea what Ed changed? Thanks.
