who's doing this, and is it bad? Just curious, I tried it and it totallly works. Doesn't bang your head around all the time wen just cruising. think it's a bad thing ? i still have full pressure, the shift times are just like .3 - .5

By the way, this definatly let me know that my u-joints are on the way out. I had noticed a lil sound when i had full pressure all the time, and .1 second shifts at all times..... slowing downt he shift made it a lil noisier, but i'm sure it's because they're already beat up. 15000 miles on the stock gm units.. crap.

 

That's not how I would have done it.

I would have increased the force motor voltage at part throttle times.

 

think that's a better way? what will it do?

 

i think i had mine set at .350 till 3000 rpm's. then i put it to .250 to 5000 rpms and .100 after that. in third i had them set at .250 to 3000 and .100 after. and fourth was set .100 all the way accross.

 

In all my experiences, that particular table has had no effect on shift firmness.

 

no but slowing the shifts down a littloe makes it a little less violant when it shifts. i also lowered the pressure some down low. it doesnt need to slam into gear while cruising and at lower rpm's.

 

I also have softened my part throttle shifts via shift time and a pressure modify table for the 1-2 shift. Works for me. Using Force motor table affects all areas best I remember. I just wanted to touch the 1-2 shift at lower throttle and speed.

 

the proper way of doing it is to adjust it by the shift timing. the way to go about it is to scale the table starting from around .400-.200 or so depending on the truck's need. scale it for slower shift times at lower torque readings and make the shift timing quicker as the torque readings go up. if you make these changes you won't feel the difference until you've put about 50 or so miles on it. the timings will force the computer to adjust line pressure accordingly. those tables make it very easy to have a calm shifting truck at part throttle and a firm shift at wide open.

 

I dont see anything wrong with adjusting shifts through shift timing and force motor current. Shift timing is TM I dont see how that could hurt unless way out of range. On the force motor DO NOT go above the max factory motor current it will burn up shift silenoids, I had a "professional" tuner do this and couldnt figure why I was droping 2-3 shift silenoid every month or two until I got hp tuners and started looking at what he had done.

Here is my table its helped me keep the shifts bearable under 25 tps

 

you know looking at this table again at 100% line pressure from the factory it was set to 1245? in that one comlumn. I tried setting it to the lowest and found that it actually grabbed the gear better at wot with it set there, another thing I found was that I got a firmer shift wot with a little shift timing left in.

Anyone have anyideas about this
