Default Transmission controlling and YOU

I'm looking for any help i can give my tranny (47RE) in the electronics department,

I just got a kick *** Suncoast V/B and a triple disc TRQ converter,

But i'm looking to help assist with lock up and possibly shift characters,

Any one have good things to say about the Co-piolit ? Or any other systems out there like suncoasts ?

with a few feet of wire and a toggle switch you can make your own lockup switch. remove trans relay and "hot wire" without reinstalling relay, then tap the orange/black wire coming off the middle computer plug on ps of firewall and run into the cab to the toggle switch. very easy.

Here is a link to instructions for a T/C lock up switch.

Adjusting the kick down linkage can change shift points as well.

I played with the " T/V " cable some more today, and i'm liking the shift points i think for now'

I just wish the converter would find it's home, and lock up on it's own, with out me having to slightly let off throttle, or wire a manual switch ( altho i will do that for my up and coming trip, as most time will be spent on the free way )

I have the ATS Copilot,works great!!!I set it for 25 mph then back pedal a little around 32 mph keeps the rpms low. I have 4.10 gears so its the nut for city driving. I plan to put on an externalover drive unit for extened hiway driving
