Default my tc has a long and sloppy lockup all of a sudden

Have had this new tci 3000 in for about 2 months now, first one i had, had a failed lockup clutch, Kevin sent me a replacement,

this new one worked wonderfully up until yesterday, it was nice a firm, now i get this long slow lockup, i hear no noises, but its just not as firm as it was.

should i worry about it?

sorry I can't help but you just answered a question for me. I'm looking to buy a converter. I was pretty much decided on a Vigilante since I've had 2 in the past on other cars but was looking at the TCI converters because of cost and it seemed like quite a few people here are running them and happy.
Sounds like I should stick with my first intention which is to just pay the extra money and go with the quality of Precision's converters.

will the TCC DC offset and base tables hurt anything if i raise the values in hptuners to get a more positive lockup?

Have you checked/changed your ATF since the converter swap? I'd do that before I took any other steps.
