Everybodys cable will be slightly different. The correct setting is unique to every car. There is no point at which this many works for the car like this many works for that one. Adjust as per adjusting procedure (we like it taughnt at wot) or stock oem method and let it go. As for tcc effecting the shift.... as in how? firmness? Heck yea, because the converter has no slip now so it all will be transferred. If the trans is slipping however it could make it more prominent. But as for shift points , not really.. As for downshift yes it will try to lock up like a 4sp at 20 mph with clutch out. Hope this answers your questions....
Good Luck..

Well........


Not exactly. If the TC is locked, you will get the firmest shift possible. There will be 0 slippage in the converter, so shift qulaity will be as good as the unit allows. With the TC unlocked, you have TC slippage softening the shift. Clear as mud?

I'll bet you got a short to ground somewhere and/or the tcc Cruise switch is just on the virge of opening so vibration and/or bump in road knocks it out. I would ck both.
