b&m shift improver kit
I recently installed a b&m shift improver on my c6 transmission. First i installed level 1 of the two level kit which is recommended for rv/towing applications, not being satisfied with the shift firmness I decided to take out the valve body again and add the last part of the kit to upgrade to the 2nd level which is street/strip. Shift firmness is awesome but at WOT it does not shift automatically like with the stage one. Normal shifts are at 1-2gear at 41mph and 2-3 (69-72mph). i have noticed that when at wot i can back of the pedal quickly and mash it again and it will shift into the next gear. I have adjusted the throttle kick down (i think properly) so could anyone tell me as to why this is happening and possibly give me a cure. I am assuming something is misadjusted. thanks <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com

Thats the way it should be, in AOD's you always get OD when you dont want it even at WOT. So you just let off and back on and it keeps going, thats the point of the stage 2. Its just set the shift point up to a point where your motor probobly wont reach it in its current form. I believe its waiting for the right amount of pressure to build and your probobly not getting there. I actually liked it that way wit hthe AOD anyways......

i was thinking that also that it needs more pressure to shift at wot then is built up, but aslong as its not going to harm my engine then i will leave it. i actually like the fact i can hold it till 45mph and built up a lil more speed then shift to second by quickly depressing the peddle and mashing it again. so aslong as it wont hurt it then i will keep it this way and not worry. thanks for the input ( got to love cracking the tires loose at 40mph and making people say holy crap thats a truck! well atleast were im from its like that, damn city slickers lol)
