My vehicle = '08 AWD Sierra Denali 6.2L A6, TVS1900
I am NOT an expert at this and have tons left to learn so please take these observations with a grain of salt because I don't know all of the technical terms. I may be looking at the wrong points but they seem to make sense ... feel free to correct me if I am wrong!
I performed a bunch more testing today to check this out a little bit more.
With Speed set to 28MPH and RPM setpoint @ 5800 it shifted everytime within a few RPM of the setpoint.
Leaving the Speed alone and changing only the RPM to 5400 netted an overshoot of about 300RPM shifting at near 5700.
Changing the speed to 10MPH and leaving the RPM @ 5400 the shift clutch was chattering on and off @ about 15MPH with the initial engagment @ 10MPH ... I am not doing this test again.
Adjusting the Speed to 27MPH and the RPM to 5600 it shifted within a few RPM of the setpoint repeatedly.
Leaving the Speed set @ 27 and adjusting the RPM setpoint anywhere from 5600 - 5800 netted shifting within a few RPM of the setpoint.
For all of the above:
When I say shifting I am talking about when the timing is first pulled for the Shift Tq. reduction. The 1-2 shifts complete on my truck in .4 sec and 2-3 in .2 sec. I use the point of when the timing returns to normal from the Shift Tq. timing reduction as the end point of the shift.
Using the diagram from carneb above ...
If the line labeled "start of shift" were moved to the left a little bit, where the "curr gear" begins it's transition from 1-2, on my truck is exactly at the MPH setpoint I entered.
If the line labeled start of inertia phase was moved left a little bit, to the point where the timing takes a nose dive, the RPM value on my truck would read within a few RPM of the setpoint I entered. This point is at the peak RPM of the shift.
If the line labeled "end of shift" were moved to the right a little bit to the point where all of the torque reduction timing was restored, that is the point where torque is coming back up and RPMs quit dropping.
Again ... I don't know if any of this is right it is simply based on my observations.
