Transmission torque converter slippage not only results in excessive heat build up, but also uses more fuel, and can cause some vehicles (eg, Challenger/Triton MN) to enter LIMP mode during long hill climbs or extended periods of towing into a head wind.

The benefits of locking your torque converter are well known when experiencing heavy load conditions such as towing (caravan, boat or horse float), climbing long steep hills, or when driving in deep sand.

By keeping the torque converter locked under appropriate conditions, auto-mate reduces transmission temperatures, improves fuel efficiency and responsiveness, and transforms the feel of the vehicle.

auto-mate is not limited just for towing. Great results are achieved while city driving and cruising.

Additional features and benefits of auto-mate

Adds a new DRIVE Mode to optimise the transmission for reduced temperature and maximum fuel economy whilst towing.

Adjustable shift pattern, for a SPORT'ier response, or for economy. Configure it for your vehicle (eg, due to larger tyre size, ECU remap), or driving style.

Further enhances the transmission by automatically changing gears to optimise conditions that enable the torque converter clutch to stay locked. It's like a lockup kit and adjustable transmission remap all in one unit.

5th gear lockout makes 4th gear the top gear to avoid repeated 4th-5th gear changes that can occur in hilly terrain. (or 4th lockout for the Triton 4 speed gearbox).

Provides a direct-drive feel rather than the ‘slushbox’ feel of a normal automatic transmission.

SafeLock® avoids locking the torque converter clutch under high slip conditions for maximum clutch reliability. Exclusive to MM 4X4 products.

Uses advanced digital control and connects to the vehicle's OBD2 CANBus port to digitally read important vehicle parameters such as speed, RPM, current gear, slip, temperature, pedal position and more. It uses genuine Mitsubishi connectors for transmission gear control.

Displays the current gear on the instrument cluster, even when in DRIVE.

Slip Alert reminds the driver to down-select a gear with a flashing LED when the torque converter unlocks in SPORT.

User-selectable starting temperature (between 20-100 degC). Default is 40 degC (Triton MQ only). In the Triton MQ, the starting temp may be set up to commence operation at the normal startup temperature of 40 degC, lower it, or increase it to only operate when the transmission oil is becoming hot, eg, 80 degC.

Does not modify the factory transmission ECU (TCU) and instead works ‘with it’ to only change when it locks up and when it changes gears. It does not modify how the TCU changes the gears, and all the inbuilt TCU self-protections and self-diagnostics are retained.

Fully electronic - no mechanical modifications to the transmission are necessary.

A whole new DRIVE Mode

Reduces transmission oil temperatures (typically max. 70-80 degC even when towing)

Improves fuel efficiency (10%-25% when towing or in vehicles with larger tyres)

Improves acceleration responsiveness, and transforms the feel of your car

Simple to use for any driver's ability, and

Eliminates LIMP mode problems when towing with a Challenger PB, PC and Triton MN. The LIMP mode is a self-protection mechanism. The transmission computer reduces engine power and limits it to 3rd gear if it detects torque converter slippage for an extended period of time at high accelerator inputs. If the slip continues the transmission is locked in 2nd and engine power is cut! This LIMP mode occurs when the transmission oil temperature is ~120 deg C, but the warning light does not come on until 125 deg C. There is no warning for the driver of the impending self protect mode.

The 4 Modes of operation with auto-mate

DRIVE - With the transmission lever in D position, auto-mate locks the torque converter clutch (TCC) and changes gears to keep it locked. A new 'tow mode' for the transmission.
SPORT - With the transmission lever in SPORT position, auto-mate will lockup the TCC when the conditions allow. The driver is in control of the gear choice.
Low Range 4WD (4LLc) - Modified lockup algorithm in SPORT mode which is better suited for 4WD use. Low Range DRIVE returns to factory control.
OFF - Normal control of the transmission by the vehicle is returned.

When in SPORT mode, it will also automatically protect your drivetrain if the gear choice is too high by:

disabling lock-up under conditions that would put excessive stress on the transmission and drivetrain, and
re-lock it again when suitable.

This is THE essential accessory for anyone who tows a heavy load (caravans, boats, horses, work trailers, motorsport) or is an off-road 4x4 adventurer.
