shuddering that would occur when you have a locked up torque convertor clutch &
you’re going to be doing less than 35 mph in overdrive.
You can do any of the four following actions to cancel out the system: 1) turn off the
AutoLoc switch, 2) turn off the overdrive, 3) lightly step on the throttle pedal, or 4)
pull the gearshift lever down into second gear. Turning off the overdrive or the
AutoLoc are the best of the four options.
Now enters the
TorqLoc
, it should only be used under light throttle applications. No
matter whose torque convertor you are using, the converter clutch has only so much
holding power & if you exceed this you will start to slip the clutch, thereby starting
the demise of your convertor clutch.
An example of when to use the
TorqLoc
position would be when you are on a
winding road where you are on and off the throttle a great deal and you don’t want
to keep locking and unlocking the convertor clutch. The
TorqLoc
will hold the
convertor clutch locked up, preventing that from happening.
You must keep in mind, while doing this, that if you apply too much throttle
pressure, especially at the lower rpm band, you may start to slip the convertor
clutch. A general rule of thumb when holding the convertor clutch locked up is no
more that 1 lb of boost for every 100 rpm of engine speed.
