Lockup clutches lock the two sides of the converter together for better efficiency when you are cruising. Non-lockup don't. If you're doing one for your daily driver definitely get the lockup converter.

Do some more searching before you buy that TB stall....some people have been very unhappy with theirs.

I'm not saying you shouldn't get it, just do some searching about it. I think some people like it, some don't. Not sure why, just remember seeing the topic come up.
