    6R80 Transbrake Testing @ JPC

    The team over at JPC just sent me the following video.

    Looks like they have the transbrake figured out on the 6R80 transmission.

    One thing I wanted to check on and something I had a chat with Eric@JPC about, there doesn't appear to be a Stall Speed value on '13 and '14 strategies. Is this value missing, just not mapped or has been renamed to something different on the newer strategies?

    The one that was used previously is no longer in the code. I am running under the assumption it has a replacement but I haven't had time to find and add it.

    That's pretty awesome news. I want to buy a 6r transmission now and see how it would work out in my cobra. I have a powerglide in it but 6 speed is tempting. How are the stock transmissions holding up to power?

    we will need that on a 13-14 to make it work. other wise it will throw a wrench light

    +1. I would say that this isn't just related to the transbrake stuff either. Anytime you put a higher stall converter in and have the car above a certain RPM for a certain period of time, a wrench light will appear without changing the mentioned value.

    Eric@JPC could answer that question better than I, but there are a ton in the 9s with this transmission.

    yea man WBT is the one that linked me to the thread.


    As far as the 6r80 goes its a pretty bad ass trans you will need some mods with big time power but we have been in the 8s on a foot brake.

    Find out what code is thrown when this happens.

    Eric, I saw this video a while ago and wanted to make a similar setup for the ZF6HP26 for the australian fords- Once that TCM access is done I will see what I can work out. Im afraid of trying it now and getting some issues I can't resolve with PCM access alone. But those stall speeds to added for a few of the definitions are working a treat! thanks again for that. The ZF I built for mine is holding 650rwhp so far with stock trans tune and having never used SCT I dont know how good it really is for making the zf and 6r80's reliable. The converters have been the other issue in aus with the majority of the ones available still being single lock-up clutch or something along those lines. I believe now there is an australian importer for Circle D and they doing a really nice converter with a handful of cars running them here. That will be my next mod for the ute I think.

    Eric@JPC Im not too familiar with the 6R80, but the videos Ive seen they are similar to the ZF internally- From factory are the 6r80s have full lock up in all forward gears? and if so do you still have them as such in the cars running 8s and 9s with that 6R80?
    Thank-you both in advance for the feedback.
