- 2nd gear.
- 3rd gear.
- Overdrive.

Evaluation
Note the vehicle speeds and shift points at which the Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) engages. TCC apply should occur in 3rd gear or O/D.

Important: The TCC will not apply and 4th gear (Overdrive) upshift is delayed until the engine coolant temperature has reached at least 55° C (131° F).
