    Thumbs down 4L60E Downshift Issue!!

    I have a 2001 camaro with A4 4L60E transmission. After installing my last tuning something went wrong with my trans!! it will smoothly shifts 1-2, 2-3 and 3-4 but it will not downshift 2-1/3-2. Manually it will but in D mode it wont. I re-installed the stock file but no changes happened. I thought it may be from the trans it self, so i replaced it with a new one but still the issue is there. can any one tell me what went wrong?
    Here is my last tune and i hope that someone can look at it and help me solve the issue.

    try reflashing it.. if it still does not work correct.. take the stock file and start over.. seen files get fouled and cause issues like this before.. did not see anything that would keep it from down shifting in the posted tune..

    have you tried scanning? any codes? Do you mean it won't downshift at all (eg. when you come to a stop it tries to start out in 4th gear or something) or won't power downshift at WOT?

    It is unlikely to be anything in the tune itself if you have flashed the stock tune back into the car and seeing the same problem.

    Thumbs down

    Hi Chris, yes i did scan but unfortunately no codes appear..Regarding the downshift issue, if i reduce the speed or at part throttle position it will downshift normaly and if i come to a stop it will downshift to first gear with no problems but at WOT it wont downshift at all and it will remain at the same gear (eg. if i am in 2nd gear and my speed is 44 mph or less and i pushed it to wot it wont downshift to 1st gear) this problem is racking my brain.

    It's all in the tranny table setup.

    They're just not setup to do what you want it to do.

    your 2-1 downshift speed is set at 44mph

    if you are cruising along in 4th gear say at 30mph, then go WOT does it downshift to 1st?

    I tried it but no use, it will downshift to 2nd gear only and it will stick there..my ride is cammed, long tube header, no cats so are there more tables to be set? i read in some forums that TPS should be set if a larger cam been installed, is it right? please have a look into the attachment and tell me if there are any setting to be done.
    Thank you.

    if your TPS is failing then the default TPS position is not enough to trigger WOT. This often happens if you have ground the throttle stop tab to get more angle and also some aftermarket TB's with adjustable stops, it will also make your car drop out of PE mode.

    log the TPS voltage to see it is in range

    Hi,

    Sorry for the very late response, yes i did it was my throttle body cable clip issue. It wasn't opening full and the TPS reading was less than 80% and in my trans full throttle setting was above that, so this is why it didn't downshift.

    Sorry again.
