Ok, I've read quite a bit as far as controlling the TCC without a computer... Some people say it's best to purchase a kit, which is overly expensive IMO, or just use a toggle switch and wire it properly to the TCC connector on the trans (( +12v on pin A, ground on pin D)).. Any pros and cons to them, or will a simple toggle switch work just fine without a problem...

 

Toggle switch works, but switching it on and off becomes old quickly. I usually wire them up for 4th gear only lock up. Simple and effective. No toggle needed this way.

 

Flipping a switch doesn't bother me, I control my cooling fans by toggle switch in all my vehicles... Kinda becomes second nature.. Plus i'll prolly be using the TCC for fourth gear anyway...

Thanks

Where am I able to find a better how-to with decent pictures on wiring it up for just 4th gear lockup???

 

do a search under aperion. I think that is how you spell it. he has a great how to if it is still on here.

 

Thanks, Ill check... For right now I'm gonna just go full manual TCC...

Now if I do the toggle switch method, will I be able to lockup in lets say 3rd gear while i'm cruising??

 

With a toggle switch, you can lock it up in any gear except 1st.

 

if you lock its not locked up then you loose power right?THen why wouldnt you want it always locked up? Im yankin the computer as we speak and i want to know which way to go with the lock up.

 

Shifting while it's locked can easily damage the transmission.... Also with it locked, you can feel a slight jolt while letting off the accelerator such as while cruising at low speed.. The computers is designed to unlock any time you let off the throttle or hit the brakes...
