700r4 troubles

I have had this tranny for about 2 years. Still shifts real strong and the tv cable has been set in the same position since install. My problem is that for about a month now, since I got my new job 50 miles away, the converter keeps locking-unlocking at highway speeds. Its getting real annoying. I have checked the fluid, unhooked the vacuum deal for converter lockup and hooked it direct to 12 volts. Still same thing. I changed fluid and filter. Same. It hasn't done this before. Anybody had any problems like this before? What about the pressure sender? that I saw in when I had the pan off, going out? Tranny was new rebuilt when installed and like I said still shifts strong. Just don't want to burn another one up because of excess heat of converter slipping.

just wondering how fast are you going when it locks and unlocks? they are designed to unlock over a certain speed... but thats around 90.
I am not totally sure what would be wrong... i just only know a few things about these transmissions

Best of luck
Rat

Sounds like you could have an intermitent electrical fault. You have to have power for that converter to lock up. I have seen the wires get brittle inside the trans and have also seen problems with the connector (plug) both on the inside and outside the transmission. If you have a loose wire anywhere this will cause the convertor to unlock or never lock up. Sounds like a bad connection somewhere to me.l

It doesn't matter how fast I am going, as soon as it hits overdrive, lock-unlock. I have been thinking of electrical problems. I checked wiring on outside of tranny,looks good and tested with continuity (sp)? I will clean all my conections this after noon and see if that helps. Thanks
