Tourqe Converters???
I am going to keep my 700 but I want to do somethings to get better highway milage and help my second to third gear problem ( I have to let off to get it to shift into third and if I push the gas back down to far it will jump back into sec). I am going to get a lock up converter I have a 2200 NON lock-up. I want a 2400 LOCK-UP so I can get better mileage while I am traveling and I think it might help my third gear issue becuse I can lock it up so it will not rev as high in third. Hopefully it will keep it from jumping back into sec gear at 100 MPH LOL. But what do you think of this Converter I was looking for TCI but I can find any that are lock ups

If your getting another converter, get a bigger one, 2200 is WAYY too little, either way you'll get better gas milage because it's going to lock up, get a bigger stall so you'll drop a little more time at the strip.

adam i dont think you know what youre talking about. your first post just shows you know how to read, but saying he needs a bigger torque converter? going smaller in diameter is where you get better performance. im going to assume you meant higher stall, not bigger converter.
