| Phoenix Switch-On-The-Fly Chip (DISCOUNTINUED) (Disabled) Power Hungry no longer sells the Phoenix/TS chip, but if you need custom tuning we can recommend a few really good tuners that will be able to still provide tuning and support for your chip. If you have any other questions or comments about the Phoenix/TS chip, please post it here. |

Noticing when tranny shifts from 2 to 3 and 3 to 4 and downshifts 4 to 3 and 3 to 2 I get a shift flare (firm shift then slight rpm spike and then locked in). Does it in all tunes under half to full throttle shifting and especially when towing. Can this be tuned out? Kinda annoying. Been gone and haven't driven truck much since tranny install. Thanks.

Doesn't sound like a tuning issue.

I was told that because of the quicker shifts that the stock shift/torque conveter lockup strategy is to slow now causing the slight flare in rpms. Or is this just bull crap?

The only thing that I can see happening here is a supply issue of fluid from the pump or a loss of flow through the passages/feed holes during a shift. Run it without the chip and see what happens. My guess is that the "slow" factory shifts will likely REALLY make the transmission unhappy.

I will try pulling it and see what happens. I also see that Ford had a tsb for this condition on the early trucks like mine. Their fix being replacing the solenoid pack and reflashing to a xle8 strategy. I don't think this was ever done on mine though since it was still labeled xle4. I never noticed it being an issue with the stock tranny either though. I would have thought that the tugger kit with the sonnax boost valve would take care of that though. Thank you very much with your help it is very much appreciated and it is help like this that makes me glad I choose PHP.

Pulled chip over weekend. To my surprise the tranny actually shifted firmer without it and the quickness of the shifts seemed the same. Did not notice the shift flare either. I hate the factory shift points though. Thinking maybe need to set the quickness of the shifts and firmness back to stock but keep the shift points the same
 . Hate how this truck runs stock too. Kinda weird having it so doggy with a firm shift. Anyway does this sound right to you guys? Putting chip back in for now.
