Default What is acceptable TCC slip while locked in 4th under a heavy load?

I just noticed my TCC is slipping about 200-300 RPM while going up a big hill with the TC locked in 4th. I am just wondering if that is ok? I have tried upping the Min/MAX TCC tables but it doesn't really help. Under normal driving and slight hills it does not slip at all...

TCC should not slip at all except very little during lock and unlock. Any slipping will create excessive heat and wear.

No slip here. Even pulling 4k out back in 4th cruise set to 85.

Had similar issues. Running a Yank now and feels like getting kicked by a mule when it locks. I had to set my minimum DC to 50% and its still too firm sometimes.

Are you planning on running boost eventually? That series of yank is very tight...under NA power its going to be a lot lower stall.
