   I'm no expert when it comes to auto trannies, but I do know that to
replace the belly pan, chances are extremely high the TV cable was
removed from the throttle body. (It would be possible to R&R the intake
without disconnecting that cable, but it seems to me it would be more
trouble to leave it connected than it would be to disconnect it.) Anyway,
when the TV cable was reinstalled in the throttle body bracket, it is
possible it was installed further in or out than it was originally. (The
cable has some adjustability where it connects to the throttle body.) I
know this will have an effect on your shifts, I'm not sure if it would
affect lockup or not, just thought I'd throw that out there since I
haven't seen it mentioned yet.
