Torque Mng. Tabel

can zero the authority. Newer models I have seen with 1280
(you should be so lucky).
Engine and trans torque management are in there. Electronic
throttle cars I think are more tangled up with it on the engine
side. M6 cars have trans TM zeroed from factory.
Torque management is otherwise only active during shifts, or when the PCM determines an "abusive" action has taken place (neutral drops, excessive overrev, etc). During a shift is really the only time you'll notice it, where it will drop ignition timing for the duration of the shift. On manual transmission vehicles it will limit timing when the throttle is lifted for a shift, or when the load suddenly drops with the throttle wide open (pushing in the clutch for a shift). It does this to control the shock on the driveline from the shift, as well as managing RPM rise while shifting aggressively. The timing is given back relatively quickly, but its definitely there.

and zero the spark retard vs torque cut table and it
will be a toothless hound, let it whine all it wants.
And you have control over the maximum timing retard
(it's a little obscure, in v1.5 it's misnamed (IMO) as
Engine>Spark Retard>Max KR vs RPM but it
really sets the minimum spark advance that any of the
spark retard actors can pull you down to. Put this to a
safe, but not-insane value (stock is -10 degrees and
guess what, this is where you see shift TM drop you
to; I have mine at +20 which means TM, KR and any
other busybody can only drop me back 8-10 degrees
tops. Which still represents a torque cut, but not so
heinous. This is my way of leaving in some level of
trans protection TM, a compromise.
