I was about to do it on my last car ('92 Volvo 960 3.0) along with semiautomatic control of the tranny, but not for eco driving purposes, more for the fun of the project itself.
I won't dare it on the Chrysler though, since the "slushbox" in that one is controlled by a fuzzy-logic ECU that complains loudly if something messes with its measured and controlled slip of the converter and tranny clutches. A converter lock-up switch will most probably function as a limp-home-mode switch, from what I've heard and read. Those transmissions are fragile and prone to trouble enough as it is
A good idea nonetheless
