Does anyone know about these wonderfull things and how to modify my 60 series to stop it locking up when I dont want it too. I know it is quite a simple mod on same year patrols but I cant get any info on Cruisers.

get your hands on the electrical diagram and put a switch in the wire

Where do I get a copy of the electrical diagram? My Gregorys book has detailed schematics but nothing that goes down to the gearbox level.

What year is your 60 - I just looked in my Factory 60 / 70 service manual but it doesn't include mention of Lock-Up torque converter. My manual may be too early for it.

My 60 is actually a 62 and is a 89 model and has 4 speed auto plus lock up in fourth. I need to stop it doing it for towing and hilly terrain

put your foot down on the go pedal and it will not lock

by unlocking your torque converter while carrying a big load you will build alot of heat which destroys auto's
alot of the heat comes from the torque converter when it not locked up
alot of people get a switch to lock it up while in third etc
