This link shows how to make a manual torque converter lockup switch for a dodge/cummins 48re transmission. The details will be different, but concept is the same. Beware, there are warnings about possible input shaft damage on stock components. I haven't done it yet, but am thinking about doing it in the future.

This aproach seems to have the potential for significant improvements in city mileage.
