Will It hurt anything

Can someone elaborate on whether it is actually necessary to hookup power to lock up converter.Or can it be ran with out any juice going to it as if not even being there i.e non lockup TH350.What I am getting at is I am going to install a TH350C which has a lock up converter but I am not going to hook power to converter yet.Can I run it with no issues as described or will it cause trouble down the line.I do plan on hooking it up eventually just not yet.

Re: Will It hurt anything

The problem with not hooking up power to the lockup is that the transmission oil will run hotter because of the additional converter slippage. Will that cause the tranny to die tomorrow? No, of course not, but it will not live as long as it would with the lockup working. So its not a black/white choice, but more like a maybe.
