Lost overdrive, time for tanny?

Lost overdrive this wkend after we installed a tc lock up switch! The trans would shift in and out of overdrive at 55 before, but now i got no overdrive! Should i try to reset the trans or just get a rebuilt one! Its got 261lk on it now! Planning on injectors, turbo, delivery valves and gov springs soon!

Was the installation of the switch is correct ? I'm guessing your o.d. was working before the installation.

If you have that many miles, plan on jacking up the hp and have the money I'd plan on a new tranny.
Cheaper to replace it before it falls apart.

Again what year info would be nice to assist. If was working before and now dosen't, suspect your electrical experitse is missing something.
