drop the pan off it and clean the converter switch out on it is the only way to repair it,the fluid gets dirty and causes that to happen,i own an 82 model though that doesn't have lock up on it,and never has had it,disconnect it from the transmission and see if that repairs it,there's small wiring harness that you can take loose long enough to find out if that's it,good luck.
