Anyone else have torque mgmnt progressively get worse? I have had TM problems from day one , but really only noticeable between 1-2 shifts @ WOT where it would lay down and pick back up.Atap confirmed the timing was being pulled.Even when the ST3500 was installed, that was the only time TM interveened. Now it lays down between shifts during normal driving. I have reset the PCM and still I get 1-2 shift, stumble, 2-3 shift , and a stumble.It feels like it is shifting 4 times from light to light.Anyone else have any input? TIA.

Re: Anyone else have torque mgmnt progressively get worse? I have the same problem and the torque management was supposed to be deleted by Ed Wright! I asked him about it and he said he didn't know what was causing it.
But, it's doing the same thing as yours. I didn't know how to describe what it was doing. <img src="images/icons/confused.gif" border="0">

Re: Anyone else have torque mgmnt progressively get worse? Hmm, the stumble on shifts is what is commonly called torque management. For my car, it only shows up under heavy acceleration... most of the time it's not noticable in daily driving.

Re: Anyone else have torque mgmnt progressively get worse? Yeah, that's how mine was up until it reached appx. 10,000 miles. It was only VERY noticeable on WOT passes and now it has be magnified under all driving conditions. I'm just wondering if there is a variable that the PCM is reading that is all of a sudden causing excessive or more sensitive timing retardation.

Re: Anyone else have torque mgmnt progressively get worse? Ed Wright had the answer to my problems! My car fell on its face from day one on part-throttle shifts. It was even worse if I gave the car ~1/3 throttle and let it shift. The car would "buck" on the shifts; it was that bad. Mine did it at part-throttle and WOT; it didn't matter. Since EW has tuned my PCM, my car charges hard through the shifts and keeps on pulling. With 2 shims added from the TransGo shift kit, my shifts now feel like they should've from the factory. <img src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" border="0"> The clutch slippage is a joke.
