Are you guys pulling it into 3rd or drive before punching it?

I do and love how my 80e shifts.

I might play around with my T/H settings and see what you guys are liking with this mod though.

Good to know.

I thought i read somewhere that pulling it down to 3rd helps something inside the trans hold the power better?

Im suffering from CRS at the moment LOL

The idea behind this seems like it ought to work but if I'm understanding this right it makes tow haul pretty much useless otherwise? That being said I never use it anyway. I was going to set my tow haul up to incorporate some engine braking downshifts but may have to look into gear holding below a certain TPS too. As responsive as a 60E is to downshift I prefer to have my everyday shifting very tight and responsive. I think I've got a 4 mph split between the 1-2 and 2-1 upshift/downshift and a 5 mph split on the 2-3 and 3-2 and a 6 mph split on the 3-4 and 4-3. When I dip into the throttle it grabs a gear and goes pretty good for what it is.

The 80E in my 95 is dog slow to downshift. I zero'd the downshift tables and set the WOT qualifier to 50% so at 50% throttle the transmission is shifted as if it were at WOT and that helped quite a bit to get it grabbing gears but its still pretty slow compared to a 60E.

On an 80E it applies the Over run clutches.
Gives it just a wee bit more holding power.

You set the T/H Part throttle 1-2 Shift Column to 50mph and the PT 2-3 Shift Column to 90.
And you set the T/H PT 2-1 and 3-2 Downshift columns accordingly.
Ok So Set The 2-1 & 3-2 to 50 mph and 90 also????

Its baby steps for me as im just finally changing small stuff in my entrance to tuning LOL.

The more seat time i have with the 80E i see what you guys are talking about so i wanna try and get it to down shift faster.

I do love this trans 100X better than my other ones though! 1st gear is so much better as instaead of spinning it just goes!
