Say what now? Don't lock the converter but you will have violent starts without the PWM, and who cares when you are performing possibly destructive testing on the auto trans anyway so you have an excuse to swap in a stick shift?!?
Yes, there's no need to even touch the lockup. If not PWM, at least a resistor of some kind could be used to soften the startup. Just because he may swap a manual in doesn't mean he wouldn't be able to defray the cost of the swap by selling a functional automatic.

WHOA !!! If I understand you guys correctly, you are saying that by having the key on, if I slide the car back into drive the car will start up again? Is that Bump start?
It may or it may not. It depends on your ECU. On my 98 auto Cavalier, it will not bump start. The transmission is never in gear when the engine is stopped, regardless of shifter position.
