Yep I load the TC to 1800-2000 on launch!

I will try from just above idle next time. 1100-1200 rpm's.

Another thought. Does everyone who has this problem run DR's or slicks? Or do some run regular street tires and get the same 1-2 miss

Yes most of the people who have REALY had this problem and looked into it agree it is a TC Slip table Vs VSS and not a VSS issue

Ken I will mod you file and next time you are up we will load it

that all makes sense, but what is the difference in the programming in obd2 pcms that cure this? is it in the tranny tables that control the pressure regulator
?

Very good question and hopefully someone will figure out the answer. If you do, please don't keep it a secret.
I'm going to visit my buddy Ed Wright October 2nd and 3rd and I'll be absorbing some tid bits of wisdom. I'll see what he has been up to on this deal.

Transgo makes an add on to there kit that makes 4l60e's full manual valve body with the flip of a switch and then back to fully automatic when flipping it back. I put it in my trans and love it. I was having the skip shift problem and now when I want ot change shift points I don't have to get the laptop out just do it manually. On nitrous I like to short shift it a little too so I don't have to worry about anything just my shifting abilties which are pretty good I must say.

no wot shift w stall

I posted here too since I believe that this is realted to several other posts.
I thought I had my tranny fixed but nogo!!!!!!
The tranny works fine as long as I dont load up the Torque convertor. Just leave the light and hammer it I get good shifts. I went to the track today to try my new trans. I loaded up the torque convertor nailled it on the bottom yellow, shift light came on at 6100 made shift bam no 1-2 shift let off and tranny goes into 3rd gear limp mode. tried lowering mph some more and shift rpm to 5500 and still no 1-2 shift. Bummer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Has anyone found a fix or isolated the problem. Is it related to the VSS and convertor slippage? Has anyone been able to compare the tables between to obd1 and 2 files.
and what is entailed in swapping a 95 to obd2 since this seems to be the only fix

2 choices. Either switch over to obd2 or do as I did, convert over to a 700R4. My converter doesn't lock up when it should so I've lost a mph or 2 but I no longer have the shifting problem. Once I get a manual lockup switch, everything should be fine.

Ed Write now has the fix. he found the table. It is set from the factory at 2,400 stall. Any stall over that with less then XXMPH showing sets it in limp mode.

I am switching back to OBD-I to verify and get my WOT Lock-up back!!

I will let you know how it works with my 3,800+ Yank.

Looks like My next race is a month away. I will see if I can sneek off to a test and tune.

NO I can not share the file. You will have to call Ed.
