No, sir. I have a 3 speed hydraulic tranny, but I'm not sure if there's PWM to the solenoid or not. Doesn't really matter, as the article states, PWM is there to allow slippage so that the engine doesn't bog, because the TCC engages basically "too soon" for normal people. Once it's fully locked, I believe it's still 12VDC applied voltage.

Still haven't had time to play with mine, though. I gotta drive all over hell's half acre today, and I'm trying to get some money around for a deal on a 1994 Ninja 250 with some gear. Selling the box off my 'Coma today, so I'll have the money for those Metros I'm looking at. All of these things, of course, being on my mind all at once, makes it quite easy to forget to hook a 12V switched power lead to the solenoid.
