Re: What if the lockup torque converter clutch is the cause of the main bearing problems?

Depending on how they're driven. Some of them have a skip-shift solenoid which forces shifts from first to third around town unless a lot of throttle is used. The .67 overdrive with 3.23 gears has them pulling really low RPMs. The driver can choose to override and if more R's are used, there's less main bearing trouble.

The above mainly applies to Corvette/Camaro. There's not been a manual Suburban in the modern era and very, very few manual pickups.
