    Default Want to lockup 4L60E in third gear at WOT

    I see the tables to set lockup at desired speed. The table to release by throttle only goes to a 100. I think this is keeping the converter from locking up. How do you get around this?

    Just put a lockup speed that you want at 100 and it'll lock there. They come stock with WOT lockup speeds that happen right after the 2-3 WOT upshift.

    It's a PTC with triple disc. It locks up fine till 100% throttle it won't lock up. All the tables make sense to do what I want except the release by throttle. Seems to me if I could enter 110% throttle to release or higher it would work. I know a lot of the turbo guys are doing it but how?

    What does your lockup table look like? It seems to override the unlock table on mine (best thing I can figure). This held true on the blackbox with 4L60, with 4L80 swap, and now still with the 411.

    This car traps 140+ in the 1/4. I'm trying to lock the converter at 120 to keep rpm's down some.

    If you're getting into 4th gear, do similar thing for 4th gear with D1003/D1006...


    make sure that D1006 (release curve) is below D1003 (apply curve).

    Also:
    - set D2904 to max value (100%).
    - set D2903 to max value minus say 30 (30%), you might have to play with it depending on lockup feel.

    I take it you have suitable supporting hard parts and hydraulic parts (shift kit).
