I had a 3000 stall TC installed on my car the day I got deployed and I only got to drive it like 20 feet. So I have a new mod on my car and I haven't even been able to play with it . But my question is, I see everyone talking about the TC locking and unlocking at different speeds ar different gears, just wondering what exactly are you talking about.

Thanks,
Warren

you can wire a switch in (to ground) off the PCM that will allow you to control when the converter locks up (no longer slips).

I've heard varying stories about when to lock it up, most of which are top of 3rd gear before crossing hte traps.... it activates a lockup clutch that ... from my understanding ... basically makes the converter spin as fast as the crank so you're not slipping the converter.

I've also heard many bad stories about people locking up the converter and having problems down the line and it sounds like the gain is pretty minimal...

One thing I CAN tell you from personal experience... do not lock the converter in first gear or tranny go boom (well.. tranny cooler goes boom and leaks fluid out and causes clutches to burn up which causes slipping)
