Shift Firmness

[Jackpine]

Nice answer Cody -

I couldn't help but think there was a downside to the "harsh" feel of a super-firm shift. That shock had to be bad for something, I reasoned.

Because of that, I've simply left my shift firmness settings the way Bill set them in my custom tunes. I can still get serpentine belt squeak in WOT upshifts at times (which seems plenty firm to me).

I have belt squeal too, but I plan to replace the belt to fix that problem. I was just wondering what the firmest setting I could use without causing problems. I plan to leave it at 13 for now. I will send a PM to corey to get some more input though. Thanks.

Try a goodyear gatorback belt if that doesn't help there are performance tensioners out there. But over all its the nature of the beast with the automatic/serpentine tensioner.
