Congrats on getting it to work Abogart. I assume the shift points are controlled by the ecu instead of a vacuum modulator which could possibly be replaced by one that is adjustable. I recently added a manual lockup switch to my 88 Bronco II. I wish my converter would lock up in 2nd gear instead of just 3rd and overdrive. Sometimes going around corners at less than 20 mph it will unlock. Can see a definite mpg improvement climbing hills according to the MpGuino. I'm now wondering about adding a manual fuel cut for coasting and pulse and glide.
