That's more reasonable to use with your relay than other tcc schemes. 
Does converter clutch unlock with load increase?  Maybe manual switch
inline for hills, if the local topography includes them.  I used to
drive up the hills with the brake pedal ever so slightly depressed to
disengage tcc (83 Phoenix 2.5l).  Side effect was brake lights on, of
course.  Wonder what other drivers thought of me. <g>
