Default How fast can the 4L60E shift?

The time it takes to get from 1 to 2 for example?

Seriously your question doesn't really have a exact answer, to many factors, there are shift timing tables and pressure related input that determins speed of shift as well as mechanical components at hand. Lets just say that a shift kit only car at WOT will shift fast enough to slam you back decent on the 1-2 in under a second.

2-3 is the slowest shift. Most moving parts involved in a shift.

Any faster and you get overlap on a stock trans.

On the 1-2 WOT shift, the shift time of 2-4 tenths is considered ok. It depends on the apply servo being used, band material, feed hole in the separator plate, the accumulation setup, main boost valve, size of torque converter, stall of the torque converter, engine modifications, etc. There is not any overlap on the 1-2 shift, just the 2-3 shift. 2 tenths is about as quick as you would ever want, the shift should be quick, and not overly firm.

lol this post is funny.

the correct answer is faster than any human could ever shift a car with a manual transmission, making the 4L60E a better choice for drag racing.

I am just curious ...and just comparing the 4L60E with other auto gearboxes for fun.

it shifts pretty darn quick IMO. it's a little laggy at low RPM's but when you get over 3,000+ rpm's and start really throwing power down, even the stock 4L60E's shift pretty quick. now, i hear torque management slows them down a lot, so if you delete that, it'll shift even quicker. put in a shift kit and it'll be even faster yet.

are you looking for the stock shift speeds w/torque management, without torque management or the fastest a 4L60E can shift modded?

The fastest thing there is

Stock without torque would be fun to have the numbers on.


0.12 sounds really fast compared to a F430 that shifts in 0.15 (totally different gearbox i know)
