Default how to lock up a TCC manually

this is an idea i've been pondering for a while now.

first i'm wondering if the TCC is engaged with an on/off type current or variable voltage for firmness....and the actual voltage max.

if it's variable, i would use a potentiometer with a push/pull on/off switch to control the firmness of the lockup.

the reason i want to do this is i'm getting a 4000 stall and want to retain a little bit of in-town fuel economy.

"what are your thoughts, hobson?"

You would need to ground the tan wire with the black stripe and unless a kit like TRANSGO or some other kit has been installed you would need to ground the PWM solenoid(not a good idea on the PWM since its designed to be pulsed off and on rapidly)
You would also have to remove test for TCC electrical and PWM electrical from tuning.
