I think most ecomodders would not slip the TCC. It is good to know about though. I don't use mine while hard downshifting for that reason.

There is a simple way to increase the engagement pressure in a Toyota, at least, that has the kick down throttle linkage. You simply tighten the cable by moving the lock nuts. This also reduces wear on the bands.

Also there is lots of info for Toyota transmission modding here:The Free Mod Series: Part VIII Manual Electronic Transmission Controller
