Extremely Hard WOT Shift 1-2

[MileHigh04SCREW]

Jack,

Thanks for the info. I have tried that as well. I found -8 to -10 between gears 1&2 (*edit* at WOT) gives a solid transmission shift with little to no "lurch". However, this also leaves me with a soft shift shudder under normal driving conditions. I hear bad things about shudders. Again, it's only for 1-2 shifts. 2-3/3-4 are great and always have been.

I wish I could post a hi-res video of what is happening...

This has no relevance to Timing does it?

No, it shouldn't relate to timing I think.

I suspect this is something Bill can adjust for in a custom tune though. He not only adjusts the "firmness" setting that you can play with, but he also adjusts line pressures and the torque dive that occurs in a shift. I'd guess one of these needs changing. I'm sure he can put an updated tune file on the server for you when he gets time.

In the meantime, though, do what Longshot suggested. Simply load the custom tow tune you have, DO NOT make any custom option changes and try that one. You can use it with the higher octane gas, so that's not a problem.

If the truck shifts more to your liking, Bill would need to know this, and, if there's no improvement, that's important data too.

I think I botched this one. I got Pegasus installed and talking to the server correctly. If I updated the Firmware, does that erase the custom tunes? When I plugged the Gryph back into my truck, it ran through a complete initialization, writing new files, etc, like the first day I got it. Under the Performance Settings menu, there is just Lvl 1/2/3 (I cant remember if these had a *custom* text in front of them) ... did I mess this up?

If you go back into the download custom files menu of Pegasus again you will be able to re-download your custom tunes. Just be sure to do a calibration update (not just a firmware update).

You MAY have reverted to "canned" tunes. It sounds like you used the Gryphon Update Manager, which is NOT what you should have used. If you did that and updated both firmware AND calibrations, then you're back to "canned".

All is not lost however.

1. Make sure your truck is at Lvl 0 (stock) and start Pegasus without connecting the Gryphon.
2. Click on [Updates]->[Pegasus Update Manager] to install Pegasus V2.01.0640 if you are running an older version, possibly V2.01.0616.
3. Once you are sure you are running the LATEST version of Pegasus, with it running, connect your Gryphon to the PC. The screen should flash red and then turn green.
4. Now, click on [Updates]->[Custom File Download] to download and install the custom tunes Bill has written for you. I think this should restore ALL the custom tunes.
5. Once this process finishes, simply disconnect the Gryphon and return it to your truck. You don't need to press any keys on the Gryphon before it is disconnected.

Let us know what happens.

Followed the steps exactly. The Gryphon never went from Red to Green. But it downloaded 303993 bites of stuff. Then it gives me an error message
"Update Failed. Please contact your vendor for assistance."

Let me restart my comp and try again.

Jack~ Update successful, heading to truck for a joyride in the rain. Wish me luck! I'll update when I get back. How do I post pictures directly into a thread?

Preemptive One-Hundred Million thank-you's.

Before I get too excited, is there a visual/text indication that I have custom vs canned tunes loaded?

Good
