AODE........1st to 2nd shift????????????

[drakesdad]

Just checking to see where your cars shift at......I know the computer controls 2 and 3.....I took it out and actually "watched the tach" and it shifted from 1st to 2nd at 4500 rpms.....I manually shifted and took it to 6k....not intentionally..meant to at 5500......lol......I am going to have Don/Rob lock up the stall in 2/3rd on one of the SCT settings just for when I go to the track but just trying to figure the 99/100 mph trap dilemma......friend in the LT1 wants a rematch soon......

Mine shifted stock at 5100....

It now shifts at 5500 (when the ****ing thing is running, that is).

Shawn. You havn't figured that gremlin out yet.......I wish I could help...I've seen your thread and I'm lost...........Did you control you shift 1 to 2 with your tweecer?

 

[Swarzkopf]

Did you control you shift 1 to 2 with your tweecer?

Exactly...I set my 1-2 and 2-3 shift points to be 5500 with the Tweecer (I also firmed up the shifts with more TV pressure).

If you were shifting at 4500, you were leaving a TON of performance on the table! Especially with your setup...I bet shifting at 5500 (or higher, don't know the powerband of your heads/cam) could drop .5 off of that ET...

Was 2-3 the same, 4500?

 

[drakesdad]

2/3 was 5500........................I was wondering how much I'm leaving on the table...

Mine shifts at 5500 and sometimes bangs off the rev limiter now that i have the 3.73s in, but i cant complain about the tires sometime chirping into second

Mine shifts right at 5,000 to 5,100. I rarely ever let my car shift itself when racing. I can get a couple more tenths out of it by running it on up to 5,500 in each gear. Plus it's a little less boring, especially when spraying the car.

Killing more AODE cars than any other site.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just increased the Scalars...pretty sure 1-2 is set at 16 and 2-3 is set at 20.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just noticed that? You only laugh because it's true.

 

[Swarzkopf]

You only laugh because it's true.

Yeah....I'm DEFINITELY allowed to laugh. My car might be the worst victim.

****in' POS. $6000. OK, **** it, $5000. I'm REAL close to dumping it.

I used to have a 95 GT AODE. I had a new rebuild, an aftermarket shift kit and valve body, and an autologic chip (professionally tuned) that would let her shift at 5,800-5,900. The car ran really good after all those mods. The car was a pig before that, I had a lot of trouble with the trans.
