    so what did you have to change for your converter?

    well my converter is going in this weekend and i just wanted to see what may or may not need to be changed in my trans settings..is there any setting that need changed for every converter swap or is it all hit and miss? i know shift points may be messed up, but what else ?

    I would work with the TCC-locked line adder in the
    "General Pressure" section, log TCC slip RPM on the
    highway and up grades to be sure that when it's
    locked, it's locked solid. There have been some
    complaints about Yank slippage (though not as many
    as some others) and the line pressure is not right,
    in the stock tune, for a smaller converter clutch.

    Shiftpoint MPH is the most affected single thing.
    You may also dislike the amount of lock/unlock
    activity around town with the higher slip and
    I turned off locking altogether in 3rd, just too busy
    and variable (I kept 4th lockup for the highway).

    I'm having a similar problem with a new torque converter and getting the P0757 code. How do you edit this in HPTuners. (Newbie)

    i'm having a little slippage going uphill at part throttle with a 3600 stall performabuilt converter. i don't think the converter is really the problem as the manufacturer has indicated that it has a small lockup clutch and isn't intended to hold any real power.

    i can't access the general pressure section in the trans tune, but i've noticed that some newer fbody tunes (pulled from repository) can. is there any way i can increase the pressure at these lighter loads going up hill?

    to fix it now, i'm just not letting it lockup past 18.75% throttle (trying to be on the safe side).

    HELP!!!

    On my 06 TBSS with a 3000 stall, I have it only lock in 4th and no WOT Locking. Been like this for quite sometime, with no issues. Like what was said, I do not like the lock and unlock all the time. Especially since it unlocks when I let off the throttle. I use to have the 4th apply at 52mph but have had it set to 42mph bec I can cruise at a steady 45 for a period of time. My fuel economy doesn't suffer but others seem to disagree.
