    Torque converter unlocking when it shouldn't

    This is not really a tune issue because I had things dialed in perfectly until I sent the TA to the shop to rebuild the engine. The engine was not removed from the car and the transmission shouldn't have even been touched.

    Whats happening - and I've seen a view threads here with the same symptoms, TC locks perfectly at the right speeds/throttle position. The problem is when the load is reduced it will unlock. I'm running a SDOS for what it's worth.

    Why would / could this just suddenly happen?

    They yanked the heads and sent them off. The oil pan was removed and I'm assuming the rod assemblies were pulled out from the top.
