I figured I would ask here on the forums for anybody that tunes built transmissions:
How do you guys set up your tuning? I have the torque converter stuff setup just fine, I was instructed by the Tranny rebuild kit sales company to zero out "shift firmness tables" looking at the tune, I returned all of that to stock, assuming that was what he meant. I put the shift speeds back to stock. I had 50% TM in the tune when it was stock, but the tranny still failed on me.
I assume the shift kit is doing most of the work of increasing the shift firmness via line pressure, Would shortening up the shift times hurt anything? I am half tempted to leave 100 percent of the torque management in the tune to make this bastard live forever. I have tuned 4lXE way more aggressively than I had in the TBSS but it still failed. Looks like it was not rebuilt correctly though. Accumulator bore was reamed without an oversized piston and it was sloppy in there from what the tranny builder is telling me.
Any advice / insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks guys and gals
