Come on in guys. I know you are out there. No 60E owners allowed

I want my 60 back NOT!

The more I drive the mine the more I love it! Woot!

Its in just not running yet.

I'm planning on installing a 0-5 volt pressure sending unit and logging actual line pressure. Has anyone done this yet?

Howdy

Not ever logged actual line pressure. Wondering why? Safety? Tuning shifts?

All of the above. When I first installed my 4l80e, the tranny builder wanted me to run a set line pressure. I hooked up a manual gauge but it was a pain, sense then I have completely rebuilt it and have close to stock line pressure.. Just thought it would be nice to know. Plus I like wiring and sensors.. the more the merrier..

My impressions since the swap and a few hundred miles driving. Haven't been to the track yet so.....

Pop in with your observations.

1> 1st gear ratio difference. Negligible difference in acceleration in my ride.
2> 1/2 shift. Much improved with the closer ratio of the 80e. Nosed over with the 60e. Now just a smooth steady acceleration. Anything lost with 1st gear ratio if made up here.
3> A usable 1st gear at around town speeds. Anything above 30mph and the 60e I basically tuned out a down shift. It was a waste. Now with the 80e it will drop to 1st smoothly and pull strong.
4> A very slight drop in MPG with the 80e.
5> The shifts are just smoother and crisper with the 80e.
6> Slightly elevated trans temps with the 80e vs the 60e. Even with a bigger cooler. When the converter isn't locked the 80e temps rise quicker and higher but do cool down to lower overall temps on the road and coverter locked.
7> Probably just the shift kit setup but I've been able to tune the shifts much more to my liking with the 80e. With all my 60e's the 1-2 shift was way to firm at part throttle.

I believe I'm the only one to convert an OBS 4x4 Burb.
Deffinately the only one in Oz.
I love it. No longer afraid to stomp on the pedal and let it change with the foot still mashed.
