Trans-Go Kit Question
Trans-Go Kit Question I’m going to be purchasing a Trans-Go kit for my 2001 Camaro A4. My question is to anyone who has installed or is using this kit. In the kit description it states:
NOTE: Computer strategy change may be required before kit installation on 98 and later vehicles.
Has anyone changed their computer settings? What do they mean by this?
I have a HHP III that is not yet installed. Will this be sufficient computer strategy? Thanks for any guidance.

Shifts will be quickened so much by the shift-kit that torque management will feel more more pronounced than before. "Torque Management" is basically the computer retarding timing during the shift to reduce power and strain on the trans. (Ford does it by cutting fuel to half the cylinders.)
Hypertech does not alter Torque Management.

Ok, so I would need some type of reprogramming like through LS1 Edit or is there a way around this? Is this in all cases? Thanks for the help.

The PCM reads the increased line pressure, doesn't know you have the kit installed, freaks out because it thinks the transmission will blow up, and cuts the timing at the shift point to lower the pressure.

I didnt see any difference at all after I reprogrammed it.
Thanks for your help

I do not know anything about what the HPPIII does when you indicate the presence of a shift kit.
However to my novice point, it does not sound like there is anything wrong with your shifts. Alot of people complain about bouncing off the rev limiter, when their shift points are not dialed in.
