Late 1-2 shift part throttle
Late 1-2 shift part throttle Hi, I just rebuilt my own 4l60e transmission and put it in with my freshly rebuilt motor. It has 3000 midwest converter but it is a pretty loose converter.
So i did my first startup and all that fun stuff, then i took it around the block. The 1-2 shift is really late like 3500-4000 Rpm but the shift feels normal and good when it does. All the other gears work great and normal.
It feels like its being commanded late.
Im gonna scan it(hptuners) later today see if i find anything.
Any ideas?

Partial throttle shifts are commanded only by mph. There is a tunable value that determines what percentage (%) of throttle is considered WOT after which shifts occur when BOTH the tuned RPM and MPH are exceeded.
(Sorry, not trying to correct anyone.)

And are not just experiencing a loose converter?
I'm no trans expert, but if it really is shifting from 1 to 3, this sounds more like a shift solenoid problem. If the 1-2 servo wasn't working, I think (but not sure) that you would have a terrible flare after shifting out of 1.
(Again, they is way out of my experience level.)
