350c trans question

I have an 86 with a 305 & a 350c tranny. A while back the torque convertor starting intermittenly locking up at very low speeds. Now it doesnt lock up at all. Does anyone out there know anything about the lockup circuit on these transmissions?
Thank you, thank you very much!!!

Could be the lockup solenoid.

If the solenoid went to ground at times it wasn't supposed to, this would cause the intermitent lockups at lower speeds. Then if it went to ground and stayed, it might blow a fuse. Check your fuses. If it is blown, replace the solenoid.

Fuses are good.
Do you know where the voltage for the lockup is supplied from?

unplug the solenoid at the tranny, go get a new solenoid, it may not be easy to replace it, i would just unplug it and call it done
