Sounds like you made some good progress. From what I have read you want to increase it until it chirps the tires at WOT, then back the pressure down until it does not chrip the tires on the shift... Might not work for you since your making so much power..

Next, what are your desired shift times set at?

all the shift times are zero'd out. I have heard that a write entire is really required to get it to take? any thoughts on this?

I zeroed out all my shift times and i left my trans pressure alone because it shifts hard enough as it is. FLT removes something on the pumps so that it doesnt restrict the fluid coming in.

I have a Transgo HD2 shift kit installed in the 4L80E and my shift times are all set to zero to turn off adaptive learning in the pcm. That is what I read to do at the time I put the shift kit in and I have been driving it that way since May 2006.

Not sure about the write entire application to get it to take. First time I have heard about that.

Zeroing out the desired shift times disables adaptive shift learning... Which from my understand adaptive shift learning compensates for worn parts... For example as your parts wear down your shifts take longer, the computer will compare the recorded shift time and the desired shift time if the recorded shift time is less then the computer will increase the pressure to get the shift to occur faster...

According to DC_Justin in a thread I read it takes alot of logging to get the shift times accurate....

What you could do would be to disable adaptive shift learning (set = 0), then log the last 1-2, 2-3 and 3-4 shift times and map against delivered engine torque. Set the adaptive shift times to the values generated there and it's function would then be as intended again: to maintain proper line pressures to shift appropriately as transmission components wear.
Next time I get some free time I am going to create these MAPs and get mine dialed in....

Check this scan....



see the slip when I got 3-2? Now look how the line pressure drops from 96 to 55 but the foot/lbs is still up over 460....wtf is going on here

Man I dunno, I think you can log transmission input vs output speed to see if the tranny is slipping....

but if the trans was slipping the line pressure would stay constant, no? I did log input/output...let me check. Also this phenomenon only occurs on the downshift, never the up shift.

at the peak of the spike it looks like the input rpm jumps 1000rpm in relation to the output which rises a few hundred.

Input speed at peak:5384.5rpm
Output speed at peak:2621.0rpm
