    Default Start in second gear tune.

    Just wondering if someone could give me the "how to". I searched for it and didn't find it. This is going in an 01 TCM if it matters.

    Thanks,

    Adam

    This is the I used. When I start to build boost to lauch you can feel it shift into 2nd around 1200 RPM. If your driving it around it will shift into 2nd asoon as your tires move. This is done in the TCM.

    part throttle 1-2 shift = all zeros
    part throttle 2-1 downshift = all zeros
    full throttle 1-2 upshift speed = all zeros
    full throttle upshift rpm = all 200's or something less than idle rpm
    full throttle 2-1 downshift speed = all zeros

    I haven't tried it at the track yet. But on the street doing a boosted launch I still spun all the way through second. When I get on the track going to drop my rear air pressure and clamp the leaf springs. Trying to get away from 4 wheel drive launches if possible.

    i hear this will destroy a stock converter.... im still going to try it real easy though. i need to know, is it alright if i dont mess with the wot tables and just do the part throttle tables so that it can only be in pattern e, will it override the wot tables or will it act funny once i hit wot?

    I am sure it will be hard on the converter but heck when it goes into limp mode, it will start in 3rd gear.

    allot of older gas trucks will start in second when you put it in 2, it says in the owners manual on 90s trucks that its for better traction on wet/icy roads. but im sure they avoid this on the diesel due to the huge torque load and excessive slip/heat it could cause. oh well, its worth a shot i have to take it so easy in 1st with a 2wd anyways even a soft launch should show improvement.
