Ok, I've been poking around on the web and looking at sites that sell the tranny and kits, etc. Some have "manual" lockup torque converters, and I would think that would be a grat thing to have. If one were to swap in a TH700 and a low stall converter with a manual lockup, I'm assuming that the combo would allow for almost as much engine braking on steep downhills as a stick shift. 1st gear, and lock the converter (just for the downhil decent).. Is this a correct assumption ?

Thanks again,
Fred

yes that is very true the lowest stall on the market is from art carr and still retains the lock up feture

fyi low stall converters suck on the street it will rock for rock crawling though!

Obviously I'm new to this "auto" stuff <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0"> and am still trying to digest a ton of information. Wouldn't a low stall converter, that has the stall speed somewhat about idle speed be just fine on the street and the rocks ?? What am I missing, obviously something <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0">
