    Default Help with 80E shift points

    Ok I've been battling this issue for a long time. I have a Silverado 1/2 ton with a swapped in 80E, vacuum modulated.

    I want my WOT shift points to all be right about 5700 RPM. To make the tranny shift there on a WOT run from a stop I set all of the WOT shift tables at 5000 RPM. I have the 1-2 WOT shift set at 55 mph, 2-3 at 88 mph, and 3-4 at 256 (not that it matters).

    When running from a dead stop through the gears, it shifts correctly right around 5700. However, if I go WOT when I'm already rolling at something like 50-60 mph, it will drop down a gear or two and start pulling from something like 5000-5300. In these cases, it will run to almost 6500 RPM before the shift.

    I have heard from several different people that are having WOT shift point issues with their 80E trannies. Does anyone have a solution to this? I tried zeroing out the WOT shift speeds but then the trans goes 2-1-2-1 when I go WOT from a cruising speed of around 40 mph. I'm out of ideas.

    Can you post up your tune and log.

    Yes, post up your tune.

    The VM only modulates line pressure (not used for torque signal shift control)

    I can only think of these things:
    - your throttle position sensor is failed or intermittent,
    - your WOT enter/exit threshold are crossed,
    - your kickdown tables are not at TP 100%,

    Hmmm...?

    Tune and log attached.

    The log is large, but take a look starting around frame 22832, I got WOT and the motor downshifts into 1st from 43 mph and runs to almost 6500 before the 1-2 shift.

    Hey thanks for the help. My truck has no engine at the moment, but as soon as it's running again I'll give it a shot

    I see the changes that you made, what do you think the problem was?

    I'm not 100% sure... the difference between the up/down MPH's seemed too close, and the kickdown tables may overriding the other tables/parameters... but I'm not 100% sure... when you get your motor give it a try and we'll see from there.

    Kickdown could be causing the TCC to slip a bit more than it would running up from a dig... Just a thought.
