What is an ECU Transmission Lock-up Kit?

An ECU (Engine Control Unit) transmission lock-up kit is a performance upgrade for your VDJ200’s transmission system. It connects your engine’s ECU to your transmission, providing real-time data and allowing the transmission to make more informed gear-shifting decisions with precise torque converter control. This results in smoother, more efficient, and cooler-running transmission, and an overall improvement in your vehicle’s performance.

Just Autos’ ECU transmission lock-up kits are specifically designed for the 200 Series Land Cruiser DPF Models. This software solution offers a range of benefits for touring and towing enthusiasts, off-roading enthusiasts, and anyone looking to enhance their vehicle’s performance. You’ll experience improved towing capabilities, increased responsiveness, and reduced transmission temperatures, making your 200 Series Land Cruiser the ultimate driving machine.

Here’s why you should have your 200 Series’ ECU configured with our transmission lock-up kit (if you aren’t convinced already!).

Reason 1: Improved Towing Capabilities

Touring and towing enthusiasts, this one’s for you! The 200 Series Land Cruiser is a beast on the road, but even beasts have their limitations. The standard transmission system can sometimes struggle while towing heavy loads, leading to decreased performance and increased stress on the vehicle.

With Just Autos’ ECU transmission lock-up kit, you’ll experience improved towing capabilities, as the kit ensures that the transmission is always in the optimal gear for maximum torque at all wheels. This means smoother acceleration and increased stability while towing, allowing you to tackle any road or load with confidence.

The feedback through our customer network drove extensive research and development at Just Autos to create a software solution to combat and solve the frustrations voiced in the 200 Series community
