Lock Point

Torque Converter Lock Point Table

This table controls when the torque converter lock outputs will be turned on to cause the torque converter to lock up - as long as nothing in the Torque Converter Lock Settings is preventing it from locking. When the Torque Converter Lock Point Variable is greater than the result of this table, then the converter will lock up. Because the Minimum Gear has been set to 3 in this example, 1st and 2nd gears don't need to be listed in the table axis, as the torque converter isn't allowed to lock in those gears. If someone later changes the Minimum gear to 2 without changing this table, the lock points will be the same in 2nd gear as 3rd gear, because the table will use the closest available values (it does not extrapolate).
