About half of the time, the my converter won't fully lockup in fourth. Always does in third. 351w, e40d. once in a great while, the rpms will fluctuate about 3 hundred rpms when cruising. Any ideas?

This thread is pretty much already going on:

My torque conv was doing strange things recently, a fluid and filter change helped.

depending how severe the no lock or shudder is the temp fix is a full fluid converter too change and add a friction modifier to the change but the only cure is a converter replacement
