An Innovative new torque converter lock-up kit

[Dicko1]

When enabled by the driver, lockup-mate AUTOMATICALLY:

• activates the TCC lock-up when the conditions are right; but more importantly, then disables it under conditions that would put excessive stress on the transmission
• then, re-locks it again when suitable
• In SPORT mode it enables lockup from 30kph+ (when the right gear is chosen) and 80kph+ when in DRIVE mode.
• automatically adjusts for low or high range 4WD

So just to clarify because i'm an idiot, does the Lockup Mate work at all in Drive? And also what is the minimum speed for it to lock up?

Cheers

Yes, lockup-mate works in Drive but only when you’re in above about 80kph. which is the slowest you can maintain lockup in 5th gear. This is because the trans ECU always picks a gear too low for lockup.
auto-mate is different because it controls the gear choice when in Drive and makes sure the right gear is chosen to maintain lockup.

Two exciting things happened today; the first is that I just finished reading this thread!! The second is that my Lock Up Mate kit arrived today!!

I have a NS Pajero. I don't do much towing, so the main reason I decided to purchase this kit is coz I miss driving a manual. I have weakness in my left leg every now and then due to spinal nerve damage, and while it's never actually affected my ability to drive in any way, I made the decision to no longer own a car with a clutch. From everything I've read about this kit, I'll soon have a car again that feels almost exactly like it's a real manual vehicle! Happy days!!
