Are you running the standard files or the "Hybrid Shift" files?

In most cases, swapping to the Hybrid Shift versions really helps the shifting. I'd give a couple of those a try and let me know. I've run these and the only complaint I usually get is that the shift points seem a little odd because of the way the converter is handled, and people just aren't used to it. The strategy is actually built off the 1999-2001 shift strategies which had a different feel, so people can get a little confused when it shifts differently.

As an aside, you may also want to throw one or two of the Modified Valve Body tunes on for testing as well. They have all the line and shift pressure modifications removed and might help alleviate the firm shifting as well.

Let me know how it works out and we can investigate further if needed.

Have a great weekend!

Hey Bill! I was running the standard files and tested a few with some great success! The "Hybrid Shift" files are very smooth shifting and the shift timing is little different but I like it. The "Modified Valve Body" tunes were a bit more aggressive in the shifting so I won't be using those.

I did load the 65 HP Fuel sipper with the modified valve body as there isn't one for the hybrid shift but it's still better than the standard file.

Thanks for all your help and you have a great weekend as well!

Bill B.

Bill,

I'll look at the files on Monday and make sure to throw in a 65 Fuel Sipper into the Hybrid files. Not sure why there wasn't one in there, but we'll fix it.

Glad everything is working better for you. If you have any other questions, please let us know.
