ATS 6019003224 Co-Pilot Lockup Controller

Answer
The control panel on the face of the ATS Co-Pilot allows the driver to adjust the lockup of the transmission. Keep in mind that the Co-Pilot will only lock the torque converter when enough boost is reached. This keeps the engine from bogging down due to excessively early converter clutch lockup that is commanded by many factory transmission control modules. The adjustments allow you to trim the converter clutch lockup based on MPH. To raise the vehicle speed at which the transmission locks up you press the up arrow button. To decrease lockup speed press the down arrow button. When the torque converter is locked, the Co-Pilot will display a green light to indicating that the converter has locked up. Due to the protection the Co-Pilot provides and the engine load sensing of the Co-Pilot it is not possible to command Lock-up at too low an engine speeds or low torque levels. This unique feature ensures the engine will never bog or run at a low engine RPM, causing lugging when the engine does not have boost. At the other end of the spectrum during high power output when the engine is running at full load, the Co-Pilot will keep the torque converter clutch engaged allowing full torque to be transferred through the torque converter clutch to the transmission input shaft. The factory often disengages the torque converter clutch during these high torque conditions to reduce the load exerted on the factory transmission shafts. This is the primary reason we do not recommend installing a Co-Pilot transmission controller on a stock torque converter or transmission.
