Default Manual Control over TC Lockup?

Can a toggle be added into the mix to turn off and on the TC Lockup on a 4l60e? I know it can be done on the 700r4. I get sick of lugging in OD with lockup and if I shift to 3rd it goes right into lockup. Its a 4l60e with an HD2, full billet servos, billet accumulator pistons, hardened sep plate, and a Fuddle 3400 tc. around 1/3 or less throttle is where I am usually in my daily driving.

Who does your tuning? (assuming you have a tune).

tuning it would be easier IMO and much more useful in the long run.

It has a mailorder Nelson tune for the entire set up. The shift points are at 6500 I believe but past that Im not real sure about the transmission aspects of the tune.

Have him adjust it for you. I like having my lock up as low as possible though.
