Pete,    I have no idea what the stll speed is   !!   This is a stock 700R4 trans.   Shifts well at the right speeds...there is no switch  to lock the converter.   It may be me , but it seems to me the RPM s are alittle high ,  and wanted some opinions  from other  y-blockers...........Sam.......................West Central     Florida

About your 700r4 transmission torque converter lock-up. The car it came out of had some means of "talking" to the torque converter and "telling it" to lock and unlock. Computer and/or a speed sensing unit that sent the signal. Since your 1956 is not equipped with this device a simple on/off switch is put in. You "tell" it to lock/unlock via this switch. Google 700R4 switch for more info. Or ask the place you bought the transmission. Pete
