I guess I just figured why have such tall gears with an OD trans. Maybe I'm overthinking it.

I'm running the USShift controller. Thing is awesome! Well worth the $$$.

Mick, I am running a regular flex plate I purchased from Butler. Same one I ran with my th400. My 4L80e converter has 6 bolts but the flex plate only lines up with 3. So I have three installed.

like I said earlier, I am going to leave the 3.23 gears for now. I want to swap out the converter first for something more "sporty" .

Under what conditions does it unlock?
