It will cause the tranny input to turn the same RPMs as the engine. Like in a manual. But if you do this, only lock it at steady highway speeds.

The engine will turn about 300 RPMs less with the TC locked up. I myself would leave it be.

Had to join just to ask.

If you don't know what it does, why do you want to do it?
