Hope you do not break an input shaft or another internal component. The shift with the converter locked can be very abusive. Just a little food for thought. Vince

Yea, I've thought about that a time or two, how much stronger are yor cryro treated parts? I figure I'll keep doing it until it breakes then just lowwer the duty cycle during the shift to allow the converter to slip a bit more during the shifts.....
