Shift Timings ? Hi Guys,
First post here.I'm new to this tuning business so please bear with me Ok.I currently know most basic stuff and am learning quickly. My current agenda is Shift Timing. I Did some research on shift speed tuning. If what I learnt is correct then then you can do so by going into Edit > Trans Call. > A4 Shift Firmness then clicking on Desired Shift Time ? How am I doing so far ?
Ok from what I've read , .150 seems optimal but 2-3 becomes somewhat sluggish ? .200 is the best comprimise . Opinions ? Suggestions ?
I am also a member on the CF. Members over there suggested .163 which is the lowest factory setting. I would like to hear more opinions. Experiences etc.

Personally, I've done custom tables and straight percentage changes. It was hard to tell the difference to be honest. For the 1-2 or the 2-3, you would be just fine with a 15~20% decrease in desired shift times (i.e. multiply by .85~.80). As for the 3-4, a 10% decrease should be more than enough. Another other option would be to play with the shift pressure multipliers. In EFILive, I was able to adjust the shift pressures based on delivered torque. Here I went with a straight number across the board from say 100ft/lbs on up. In terms of percentages, it looks like about a 50% increase for light throttle and a 5% increase for the upper end. I don't particularly like to touch the Force Motor Current table as this can produce higher line pressures all the times instead of just during the shifts.
