I'm struggling with how to handle my lock up of the TCC on my first year A4LD.
I have done the duraspark withe HEI module and removed the computer.
I tried the pressure switch method and failed horribly, so I don't think I'm willing to drill a hole into the case of my trans again.
So I know that there is a 12 volt signal sent to the 2 wire connector on the trans. Then the ECM would ground the circuit to activate the TCC.
I have since ran a keyed hot wire to one side of the solenoid. I know I can add a manual switch to the dash to ground it, but how practical is this?
Is it basically every time you get on the highway above 50 mph you flip the switch? What If you forget to flip it off or have to come to a sudden stop?
Is there something that you could wire that when you hit the brake it would open the circuit and unlock it again?
I'm considering all options and I'm willing to rob more GM parts to make it work lol.
And yes I have read the Tech Section article, but it is very difficult to find the GM vacuum switch these days from what I can find.
