#945, "How to switch off TQ lockup (another new mod thanks to robert)"
Well the master at the A604 has done it again and come up with a simple switch to defeat TQ lockup here is Roberts Post from ASOG he thinks it might be worth a couple 1/10's in the quarter mile
"After long research by my self and another member its done, my car is not here so I did not test the mod but it has been tested by another member.
Here are Directions to defeat the torque converter lockup without turning on the brake lights. GREAT for city cruising. `````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
My 1995 Chrysler shop manual is incorrect from the factory and shows that the brake light switch is NORMALLY OPEN on both poles of the double pole single throw tail light switch. That is incorrect. It's normally open on the brake light side and normally closed on the torque converter lockup side. The manual has several pages you need to find to figure out the different systems and their function. That's why it's taken me so long to get this mod to work.
Feel free to post it if you wish.
Attached is a drawing that I made that is correct and replaces the one in the manual. (I don't know if the 96 and up manual has been corrected.)
All you need to do is OPEN that ground circuit to make this mod work. `````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
Parts............................
1 single pole switch (or SPDT for an indicator light) 6 feet of #18 wire 2 #18 butt connectors 2 spade terminals
Directions..................................
Mount the Lock Up switch.
Locate the brake light switch under the dash. Disconnect the quick connector from the switch.
cut the Black wire from the brake light switch and strip back 3/8" of insulation.
cut the #18 wire into 2 - 3' pieces, strip 3/8" from both ends of each piece
use the butt connectors and spades to crimp them to your 3' pieces.
crimp the butt connectors to the cut black wires
install the switch
test
NOTE: You could use a single pole double throw switch and a small light mounted in the dash to illuminate if the lockup is "OFF" The SPDT switch would need to be one side N/O and the other N/C. The normally Open side would feed 12v to the light when activated and the normally closed side on the brake circuit to maintain continuity.
For those of you wondering what this is doing, ever been at full throttle and notice that as soon as you hit 3rd gear still at WOT your rpms drop about 400 rpm, well thats your tc locking up. The motors are rev happy and need those revs to produce HP, well this mod will keep that from happeneing and keep those revs up.
I also recommend that if you do this mod install a tranny cooler if your gonna use this alot. When your not in lockup your converter builds heat, higher HP and rpms with out lock up for a long period of time will build lots of heat, thats an A604 killer."

Can somebody explain how we would use this and be a little more clear on the details? I'm not doubting this might be a good thing, I'm just to confused on what this is doing for us if it works.
