3rd gear start tune setup?

[bluecollar]

Hey guys, just got the 66/74 on last night, i have a pull Saturday and want to try 3rd gear start. Now i did my 2nd gear start by setting every thing to 0 in the following tables D5000 D5005 D5020 D5025 D5035. Now would i do the same for 3rd gear. Thanks for any help or advice.

Converter may not want to lock with a 3rd gear start unless u force lock it

I couldnt be happier with my 3rd gear start TCM for pulling. I hope you get it worked out. It seems to make things a lil happier.

Set it up for 3rd gear start and lock the load % and torque converter rpms slipage and then you can see if the converter is fully locking.

Do i change the same tables as i did for 2nd gear? Thanks again

It actually will probably work without a lock-up box, just will lock later down the track than you would like.

zero out the part throttle and WOT 2-3 shift table like you did for the 1-2 shift tables.

Thanks that makes sense, guess ill find out how much longer its gonna take to lock.. wish i had a higher stall. Will it lock sooner with a bt box on auto or will that be the same as no box?

Not sure about the auto part, just forcel lock as soon a you got er lit, and then it enables you to force unlock at the end of the track instead of throwing it into neutral.

I might just leave it be then as I only have a unlock switch and this might be the last pull for me this year. as I don't wanna have a issue this weekend, wanna see what this turbo will do. but will be starting 3rd next pull/year..
