trying to explain

hey guys, as you may remember a few days ago i did a torque converter mod wiring a toggel switch. (witch is working great) i figured out since i done that that my problem i was having was torque converter locking as soon as it goes into 3rd gear. but at the same time converter drags into lock making it sound like slipping (literaly) into another gear. probably takes 2 seconds to fully lock, but close enough where i thought 3rd and 4th was on top each other. is there any thing i can do to solve this problem of converter drag, and put my wires back together. ive read on here that you probably woudnt notice when the converter locks but boy i sure do. kills my power towing when it does that. drops about 1000 rpm. sorry for the long read, and thanks for your help...mark
