It's advertised for the TBSS. He didn't say why it wouldn't work.

all the gmt900 i have done with aftermarket converters do the same thing, it is just part of how the TCM works...it sucks to tell u the truth...but i have worked with all the parameters to eliminate this problem and no success...it is more noticable with a higher stall cause you can acctually see rpm changes up to 800-1000 sometimes when it unlocks....

some guy on Hp Tuners said he had the fix but still no responce on it...

So what are we looking for on the GMT-900?

Looking through the differences in tables available between my old '99 GMT-800 and the GMT-900, I see a 3 tables not available in EFIlive on the GMT-900 T42 controller that are on the older setup.

{D1007} TCC Throttle Release - Second Gear
{D1008} TCC Throttle Release - Third Gear
{D1009} TCC Throttle Release - Fourth Gear

Is this what we're looking for? Might EFIlive or hptuners find the tables and make them available?

I've looked through several T42 tunes and do not see the any of the OS's with anything regarding the TCC Throtle Release. It would be nice if we could upgrade / upload a different OS's to one supporting the throttle release tables if it would fix our issues.

Any ideas?
