How do u figure? Heat is one of the biggest problems I know of with autos and keeping the converter locked reduces heat. In fact a lockup switch can limp a rough converter along for years if used properly.

because there is so little friction material in a stock converter to start with. if it is already damaged -like it sounds- locking the truck into one of its highest 2 gears puts the most strain on the already weak clutch. its a death sentence. if it were mine i would leave it totally out of lock-up if it is slipping like it sound until the problem can be remidied. yes heat kills trannies and the converter is by far and away the main source of heat. and if the switch was used perfectly yes you could maybe salvage a few more miles out of it but if he is like the rest of the male race he has a short memory -that he gets yelled at for often- and will forget to flick the switch from time to time.

what gear starts slipping first in a manual tranny??? 1st or 5th!... stay out of the high gears if it is slipping
