    Interesting. does the trans know if it's in 4low by any chance?

    could try messing with the wheel speed calculations to trick it, but then that would probably throw all your auto shift speeds out of whack

    No the trans doesn't know that it's in 4lo. I originally thought it was keeping me in 5th because of the trans temp being hot. I now have 2 trans coolers and the trans stays 190-200 degrees during very hard driving. I am not familiar with the trans tables but I'm wondering if it shows me exceeding a certain speed or output rotation speed.

    I too have this problem and I have concluded that it is an output shaft RPM limit set somewhere in the TCM. If I change the final drive ratio in the cal the shifts all happen much later but the speed at which it drops 6th and goes into 4th remains unchanged. Really wish there was a solution to this. I am dealing with a car that has a low range box and it can't go any faster than 50km/h in the low range before the trans just downshifts into 4th. Changing the gear ratios in ECU and TCM and thus the perceived speed by the ECU and TCM only affects the shift speeds but has no effect on this behaviour. Also, using the scan tool DVT tab to hold 6th has no effect, it will downshift no matter what.

    well i had sort of agreed on the theory above, but i've seen a table in other software where there indeed was a speed limiter.

    i think from memory i seen in it a 2010/2011 camaro os, but not in a earlier os version of the same year.

    looking forward....maybe the answer is in a .bin read of the tcm?
    tuning is not my business, but with enough time and reading....

    If D9420 is the problem, I have checked VE, Maloo, CTSV, and Camaro , and the are all set to 0 for 5th and 6th at 3000.
    The Camaro ZL1 is set to 575 for 5th and 0 for 6th
    Not able to test at the moment - on the todo list

    just the torque limit.
    the ss doesnt need a reduction, too low power in this hear.

    Has anyone play around with speedo hardware?
    Because it seems to be a problem by VSS signal to/from TCM .
    Speed output type can be : vehicle serial, vehicle repeat tos or wheel speed.
