Upshifting/Downshifting
Upshifting/Downshifting My car upshifts way too early and won't downshift. What could be the problem? I have a Predator. Can't get anyone to tell me what the mph shift points should be. I have 373 gears?
The 3.73 setting for proper speedo has to be done first.
There's something not quite right about that, with the
Predator, but there is a special workaround that you can
follow. I think I even read it in the little book that came
with mine. Get that right, first.
MPH settings for 6000RPM upshift and 6250RPM limiter:
3.23: 40, 80, 125
3.42: 38, 76, 120
3.73: 35, 70, 110
These should be considered starting points, because
the torque converter, transmission shift cycle time
and engine output torque all change the MPH to RPM
relation of the shifts and limiters.
The Predator is a bit funny w/ the trans settings; it
changes up and downshift, including part throttle,
when you adjust the WOT shiftpoints. The higher
upshift, the better your downshift MPH too. Until
you start hitting the rev limiter.

My car is experiencing the same problem but it is intermitent. Its a 98z and had a tuner redoe shift points. Before, it did it all the time, no it does it part of the time. Checked the tps while tuning it and it was reading good. Could it be solenoids or maf?
