greater than 8-10 inches. The converter clutch will 
release  when  the  transmission  is  down  shifted  out 
of 4th gear or engine vacuum falls due to increased 
throttle. 
 

Step  6  — 

Refer  to

  Figure  5. 

If  you  desire  more 

control over the TCC you have a few options:  
 

Option  1

  will  allow  you  to  manually  lock  up  the 

torque  converter  in  2nd  gear,  3rd  gear  and/or  4th 
gear  by  running  the  green  wire  (Terminal  B)  to  a 
grounded dash mounted toggle switch.  

 
Option 2

 is for drivers that may want to shut down 

the  TCC  system  through  a  second  dash  mounted 
toggle switch between to the red wire on the TCI

®

 

external harness (Terminal

 

A) and the switched 12-

volt source. Now,  you may manually turn the lock 
up system completely on and off. 
 

Option 3 

is for those who desire immediate release 

of the TCC when braking. For this,  you'll need an 
OEM  brake  pedal  switch  with  a  normally  closed 
circuit.  Run  your  switched  12-volt  source  through 
the  brake  switch  and  then  to  the  red  wire  on  the 
TCI

®

 external harness. 

 

Step  7  —  Reinstall  Transmission  Pan: 

Install  a 

new  filter.  Remove  any  pan  gasket  material  that 
may  have  been  left  on  the  transmission  case/pan 
during  pan  removal.  Always  replace  transmission 
pan 

gasket 

when 

reinstalling 

pan. 

Refill 

transmission with ATF being sure not to overfill.
