    Default 4L80E won't keep converter locked during a shift

    I have the converter locking in the top of second. I have given it permission to shift with the converter locked, but it still unlocks, shifts into 3rd, and relocks. What do I need to look at to keep the converter locked for the 2-3 shift?

    What torque converter do you have...?

    The PCM may be deciding to unlock regardless.

    Mine use to do that for 3rd to 4th. For some reason after heads and cam it stays locked from 3-4. Never touched a trans table at all.
