Torque converter lock up switch

Anyone using one? If so when do you turn it on when at the track. I plan on only using it at the track due to the abuse that might occur. Would it be better to switch on in second or third gear?

Mine does via PCM, but I assume you are rocking a 700r?

I believe mine locks after 1st, may stay locked through shifts IDK. It will trash a single disk converter though so be careful..

1994 should be the first year of the 60e. Not saying that's what he's got but the car should be provisioned for electronic controls.

Your correct it is a 60e and it is a single disk converter. I'm not planning on using it that often. My goal is to set a new personal best and then remove it.

You should be able to wire in a push button in on the TCC lockup wire and ground it. On a 95 its cavity T (tan/black) and just ground it to bypass the PCM doing it.

Have you measured your converter efficiency? If its good you may gain nothing but a trashed clutch plate.

Already have the toggle switch mounted on the lower dash. No, I didn't measure the efficiency. I guess I can use my scan tool and check.

I have the tunercat software is it possible to increase trans line pressure at WOT to decrease slippage? Anyone have experience with this? I would rather not use the lock up switch if possible.
