You can tune it to lock in other gears besides 4th.

It does if you are not a good driver, if you are it makes it more fun lol

Driving in the snow with a 4000 stall, 4.56 gears and 2wd is not as hard as you would think, I found it a hell of a lot of fun.

the main speed limit in the city here is 60-80km/h so I have my lockup occur at 85km/h in 3rd cause I don't like having it locked when driving around. a lot more snappy and fun with it unlocked and I always drive in 3rd unless over 85km/h.
you can get it set to lock whenever you want

Yes, at a certain load/throttle angle, the converter will unlock again.

I can accelerate in locked 4th from 30 to 90mph fairly quickly. I can climb a 23* grade locked in 3rd at about 25mph.

Circle D 3200 278 mm

Daily Driver - 9/10 (Can feel its not stock mainly in reverse but works very well for a daily driver stall converter, excellent under light throttle.)

Towing - ?/10 (Soon to find out)

Shift Recovery - 4500 with a 6200 shift.

Exactly what I was needing and the price was not just hard to beat, you can't beat it!

Will get videos up for any interested!
