Ryan, you double-posted a question, and I ask you please avoid that in the future. I replied to your question in the other thread, but I'm moving it here as this thread is actually more appropriate:

One thing, when the engine is running under high load, in order to protect the gearbox, or to improve the shift quality, does the TCU need to send a shift signal to the ECU to retard the ignition timing or something ,just like the flatshift of the manual gearbox?
Because the automatic transmission does not need to close the throttle when accelerating .
any question or suggestions?
In order to get the effect you want, there are lots of questions that need answering that are specific to your hardware and operation. First I would suggest not comparing manual transmission operation, as so many users have the concepts or order incorrect, the issues are different, and it is very confusing as to when or why you would use retard or cut or other method to achieve a result. In other words; this question needs to be answered from the end-result (what you want to achieve and why), and worked backwards to find the best solution(s) to the problem.
Various alternative answers, depending on the results required:
- No. If we assume the hardware is suitable for the application, then no special features are necessary.
- Yes, as the desired reduction of input or output torque during clutch engagement is after the shift — not before it.
- No, as the function is handled in the transmission, using line pressure to modify shift timing and engagement.
- No, as the function is handled in the transmission, using modified clutch engagement through variable-rate clutch solenoid PWM.
- ... or many other Yes or No answers depending on the specific issue or what you want or need.
You can see how the problem needs to be defined before a solution can be considered, e.g. are you avoiding clutch slippage on re-engagement, or input shaft damage, or loss of traction? Different issues with very different solutions. My suggestion is to start a thread with specifics of the problem(s) you are facing, in order to generate good solutions.

hi David
First of all, I'm sorry that I made the same reply two times on different subjects, and I will avoid it in the future.
Return to the subject of our discussion. My goal was to protect the gearbox and the engine especially in the case of a turbo engine.
First, the engine ,In my experience, NA engines don't have this problem, but in TURBO engine, take my car for example. Particularly high load conditions. There will be issues such as full throttle, high RPM, gearbox shift from second to third. At this point, the RPM decreased from 6,500 to 4,000, but the intake manifold pressure did not decrease (because I did not need to release the pedal), which would exceed the target pressure for a short time, and then the engine got a knock, which could not be solved by adjusting the ECU MAP. This is the problem I encountered. Therefore, I want to send a signal to ECU ahead of time through TCU, so that when the shift occurs, the engine torque will be reduced, which may avoid the problem. That's what I think
Second, about the gearbox
As mentioned in your reply, the purpose is to avoid cluslippage on re-engagement and to avoid damaging the input shaft. It doesn't matter if you cut off the fuel or ignition or retard ignition timing, just to reduce or soften the torque when changing gear. In particular, shift from low gear to high gear
