    Trans shift/TCC lockup vs engine load

    Using Tunercat where I used to work, I found a table for my 99TA with shift MPH and lockup MPH vs engine load, but I've been unable to locate anything like that in the HPtuners software. Am I missing something? I'm having problems with my light throttle shifts. I think it's due to the 4000 stall converter and the lack of engine load at light throttle. I don't want to see lockup in 4th gear until at least 60MPH and I've set the part throttle shift table accordingly, but lockup occurs near 45mph. All other shifts occur early too.

    You should have a table that looks similar to the attached that controls your convertor lock up based on ground speed. You should be able to do what you want with this table.

    Note that there are relationships between this table and your shift speed table. For instance, you do not want your TCC lockup speed for 3rd gear to be under your 3-4 shift speed. Otherwise, you'll car will go from 2 to 3, then 3 to TC lock, then TC lock to open, then 3-4, then 4 to TCC lock. When you really want 2-3, then 3-4, then 4-lock.

    Hope this helps!
