Transmission control
Hey guys
This is my first post. I'm trying to decide if the Gryphon is the programer for me and I have a few questions. I hear a lot of talk about shift firmness.
How is this controlled?
I read in the FAQ section about shift points, delays and pressure. Does this refer to three separate adjustments?
I have an '03 FX4 5.4
Shift points - I assume this refers to when the transmission shifts. I think the shift points are OK
Delays - I think that this may be what I want to adjust but I'm not sure what delays deal with. I want the TC to lock up immediately with no delay after the shift.
Pressure - I want the TC to remain locked with moderately heavy throttle, right now it hops out of luckup as soon as a light throttle is introduced. Does pressure control this?
I want a reasonably firm shift with an immediate torque converter lockup with the TC remaining locked until I apply enough throttle to shift to a lower gear if this is possible.
Will a programer do what I want? Originally I was looking at the Xcal 3 but Jack (jack & Janet) suggested the Gryphon might be better (give me more control). Which unit would be better at controling the transmission?
