Understanding the ATS Five Star Co-Pilot
The ATS Co-Pilot transmission controller is recommended for use with light duty pickup trucks when a
heavy-duty aftermarket transmission and torque converter package have been installed on vehicle. While
the Co-Pilot will still function perfectly on a stock transmission, factory transmission shafts are weak
and prone to breakage. The factory torque converter clutch will also fail if applied under high load
conditions. Factory computers are programmed to disengage lockup under certain conditions which will
protect the transmissions internal components under higher load. This is why we recommend having a
heavy-duty aftermarket transmission installed in your vehicle to prevent transmission failure. ATS
