Looking for an intro guide to tuning the 6l80e

[granatl]

I recently installed a PATC built 6l80e in my 2010 Camaro. I used the previous owner's TCM settings and am like 90% satisfied with them. However, I have two things to fix.
1. The lockup converter engages at the low load 3-4 shift
2. Occasionally, the high load 3-4 shift gets missed and I hit the rev limiter.


When I look at the transmission parameters in HP Tuners, I'm in way over my head. Does anyone have a link to a "getting started" type guide for this part of the program?

Tune is attached, should anyone just want to say "just change this and this."

Hey, if I were you, I'd find a stock tune and start over.

The reason it misses the 3-4 shift is because the previous owner set the WOT upshift to 6900 rpm, but your fuel cutoff is at 6200. I'm actually surprised you don't have problems with all your upshifts, because they're all set too high.

At the very least, change all your Full Throttle Shift RPM tables (Normal, Pattern A, Pattern B, Hot) to 6000, that'll fix the WOT shifting.

Thanks for the info! I lowered the shift points to 6100. However, I haven't gotten a chance to "test and tune" it yet.

Tunning school has a book for 6speeds and you can use Bluecats on shifting, WOT shift, RPM and TCC
