Now, if the TCC was actually destroyed, would it still lock?  Or would
it just not lock at all?   Mine seems to be locking nice and solid,
just not unlocking sometimes, which would seem to imply the solenoid
or the fluid paths having a problem, the TCC was locking at WOT with
the stock programming (that came from GM).

Could the clutch fail in such a way that independent of the solenoid
that it would stay locked?
