Message	to the trans harness and it has a switch on it that allows me to lockup the torque converter. I've been doing this long enough to know about this. The torque converter was doing some strange things though - the lockup was behaving irregularly, and I verified all connections twice through the session to make sure everything was working properly. You can hear the lockup solenoid click when the switch is thrown, which told me that the electrical side of it was working correctly. But, it didn't appear that the lockup was fully locking up - I think there is something wrong with the torque converter though.
