You bring up many issues I am dealing with at this point with a TCI SSF 700R4 and, originally a 2600 or 2800 TC , now, a 1800. The more I research the more I understand what is happening to this tranny.

How do I know if the TC has Locked-Up and or Unlocked? I think the Switch is hooked to my Brake Peddle, the Brake light on the Dash comes on and goes off occassionally, but remains on mostly. I think I would like to have more control of the Lock-up, so does a manual switch make sense?

I think the fluid might be boiling in the tranny and causing my leaks, don't have a temp gauge hooked to it to find out temp of cooling going in and out of tranny, lines hooked into radiator, no external cooler (How much of a diff does it make?) Shouldn't the vehicles radiator keep the new Tranny at Operating Temp?

So many more questions,

Your knowledge on this subject seems to be ummmm, pretty good, I think you know what you are talking about more so than most Technicians I have spoken with on this Install, Thanks for any info you are able to provide.
