Should transmission line pressure be turned down?
 

Installing a shift kit and servo, should the transmission line pressure be turned down - back to stock? I had the tuner firm up the shifts a little, since the tranny's currently stock.

BTW, kit will be Transgo HD2 and the vette servo...

yes it will have to be turned down probably to stock.

the bigger question is how he is turning the pressures down, with what tables. Dont let him do it with the force motor table

Well, I'm not sure how he turned it up....

I'm not a tuner, so I have a problem with telling him how or how not to turn it down....regardless, the question is just "should it be turned down" ;)

Its personnal preference if you like hard ass shifts then leave it, but unless the tranny is built I would soften it up a little unless you want to rebuild in 15k.

I want firm, but tolerable, shifts at part throttle and tire chirpin' shifts at WOT.......I don't want to rebuild every 15K.

when i had my '98 few years ago i put in a shift kit and didn't back down the line pressure. ran good for a few days. went to dallas for a class and was at 114 and mcarthur in the middle of the night, kaboom. shelled it pretty good. 2 days later and $1200 i was back on the road.

you will either want to turn it down in the tune or dont turn up the force motor when you do the shift kit.

As I stated, I'm not a tuner....can you explain "force motor"?

Don't be a PUSS!! Turn the bitch up and let it scream! :devil: :jest:
J/k.
Too bad you don't have Allen tuning it. Then you wouldn't have to worry about it.
He would tune it just right to compliment your mods and vehicle's primary use.
It's never too late to switch tuners. :judge:
