Default Lock up problem, PI multi

Well I've just finished my build and built my trans, I put my old stall back in. A pi multi disc 3,600 which was working fine until the trans decided to spew all the fluid out. So I drove it home and lockup wouldn't grab anymore. It would grab sometimes but it would unlock while staying at a constant speed. I've had it for a little over a year and I love how it performed, my guess is the lock up clutch has been wasted already or it's burned up. Anyone ever dealt with Precisuon industries warranty?

Or if anyone knows how much it usually costs to replace the lockup, or if it's better just to get a different one?

Best bet is just to call them and see what they say for a rebuild. Probably a couple hundred bucks.

First thing I'd do would be to double check the fluid level in your transmission.

It doesn't take much to burn up the clutches if the trans was acting up. Mine had an issue and literally burned up within a day of driving.
Make sure your trans lines aren't clogged from the first failure sending crap/clutch lining through the system. Just having the truck sitting with crap in the fluid/lines clogged the cooler in the radiator up when it settled. It was too late for the new tcc when i realzed it ... trans overheated within a few miles and ruined it again. Bypassed the radiator after another tc rebuild and everything was fine after.
