Ken, Will the micro tuner for the V/10 allow you to change the converter lockup speed?

No. Just the shift firmness and shift points.

Micro Tuner trans controls

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 09-Sep-02 AT 10:46 PM (EST)]Hey Ken,

Can you elaborate on 'shift points?' Will the MT allow programming of the rpm of 1-2, 2-3, and 3-4 shifts? Can the shift points be programmed without changing the shift firmness?

Also, how can you find out WHAT can be programmed with the code you've got?

Does the MT leave a trace when the computer is returned to stock?

Thanks

You can change the shifts in a mph scale with individual control over each gear by up to approximately 10mph each.

Yes.

Only by plugging it in and using it. Basically, whatever Superchips can accomplish shift-wise with an ECU code in the chip they can also do with the tuner. No way for me to know all the characteristics of each code yet because there are sooooo many of them!

Warranty issues, problem solving (such as engine ping in areas with bad gas), customers unhappy with driving characteristics, cold weather areas, high altitude, the list goes on......

Hey Ken,

How do the trans features of the Microtuner compare with the Dura Trans unit.

Specifically, raising the OD shift point?


Thanks again
D Buck

The Dura Trans is not a transmission controller, not exactly. Its an overdrive controller. It controllers the speed at which the overdrive kicks in and turns off. It doesn't let you set gear ratio, tire size, shift firmness, or shift points for all gears.

Can the Micro Tuner (gas) remove the speed limiter or increase the speed limit (how much?).

Does the Micro Tuner have different tuning modes (e.g., performance, towing, etc.?)

Thanks,

Gary

Yes. No specific limit, either removed or not removed.
