Holy crap you two are smoking some good stuff.

Probably both voted for Obama too.

7 gears, 7 states of the transmission valves
There's 3 valves that control the transmission
1-2
2-3
3-4 shuttle

There's 7 combinations used to control a 4L60e
Look at the transmission flow chart. There isn't any point in which 1 valve supplies pressure to 1 band. It's all combinations.

See if you can get ahold to that transmission guy and get him to explain it..
Ive been in a few transmissions and i dont see how you can make 2 extra gear ratios when there are only a couple clutch packs and a band.....

So how do you split the combos and get 3 extra gear ratios?

You don't have more gears
There's 4 forward
There's neutral
1 reverse
And park engages 2 simultaneously
Now look at how a transmission works. There's an inner that spins. Then engages another gear that's around that gear. Then engages another outside of it. An auto is planetary gears. There aren't 4 completely separate gears that it switches between. It "stacks" gears.

Good to see OP back.


Can we see a time slip of the 11.2 pass?


Can we see a print out of the truck weighing 2400 pounds?


Can we see a dyno print out of the motor making 400hp?



Can you please reply to my email I sent asking about your add on CL???




Thanks

hahahah you literally meant P, R, N, D, 3, 2, and 1 all work.. think everybody took you the wrong way..

Now the only difference between P and N is P engages the Park Pawl.
