hey, would a non-lockup VB out of a 77Volare wagon work in an 80lockup transmission? i probably already know the awnser but i just want to be sure

thanks
Justin

No. Lockup trans needs the hydraulic passages in the VB in order to work.

Hey Eric..

yea figured.. oh well, time to get rid of the lockup

Justin

What's wrong with the lock-up tranny?

nothings really wrong with it, this is in a 80 4dr Volaré that will have a pretty radical cam and will be used for street/strip use.

lockups arent that great for strip so its time to "upgrade"

The reason i asked this Q is because when installing a trans kit i lost a little cam out of the VB. i found it and its running perfect again

Justin

I imagine if you don't want the lock-up feature you could just put a little plug in which ever end of of the lock-up valve to keep it from going to lock-up position.
