Constant in and out of lockup

Anytime I am driving on the highway over 60mph, my car is kicking in and out of lockup. Any ideas???

Any codes? Might need the lockup tables adjusted. They can be fussy with a stall. Look at speeds and TPS

No codes. I'll have to try to find a local programmer.

Check this out, pretty common problem. Requires a spendy reamer or a transmission shop can do it if you bring them your valve body.

rig a switch to ground pin S on the tranny plug to see if it locks up. If so, it's a tune issue...not a mechanical. Or at least much less likely.

^___This.....sounds like they need to be tightened up a bit. Normal lockup is around 45-50MPH......

This is the 3-2 Shift Solenoid Valve Control right?
Just turn it to ground when I am going 70mph?

If you get this figured out please post what fixed yours. Mine does it right around 45-50 and will stop if i tap the brake pedal and then when the tcc engages usually does it again
