I Love "Racing" where I am!
Because I race :)


You look bad again with your nonsense

Where are your promised up dates on your 6 second build!

Everyone is waiting !

Kudos to you not everyone takes on the Challenge!



Linda :)
Linda,

Post it on my thread, I would love to talk about your 10 second bracket racing. Look bad, look good, look old, look skinny, look fat, look tall, look short, look smart, loot dumb, whatever. Not something that motivates me, keep racing, if you are happy that is all that matters.

Man it's way early in the off season for folks to be at each other already LOL. We're all driving Hemis and fast ones so let's high five on that and wish each other the best with our projects.

It’s all on the tcm shift schedule tab. Just need to dig lil bit and you would find it

also, fuel cut off at 6500 for those cars.
That's what confusing. I found two tables that shift at 6700RPM when the base cutoff is 6500, however the max is set to 6700 in the Demon and RE. Something turns that on or it wouldn't be there I think?

Good work @hellno sounds like you've cracked the code on these trans. I've heard rebuilt ones were problematic and yours is performing well. Offer a package.

Some of them are used for manual mode and some aren’t used at all. There’s a table that Sumit is referring to that maps out some of it based on shift situation.

look at the Hellcat manual table and you would see 6400 too.

And here’s an old trick that’s pretty common knowledge for those that tune these things. If the rev limiter is raised sufficiently above the manual mode shift trigger points, it will shift automatically in manual like it does in paddle and drive. You can also lower the values so that it’s more usable if you don’t want to shift that high and have custom shift points set by whatever mode you’re in. I set my car up where drive is stockish, paddles is elevated, and manual mode is highest.

Out of respect to @hello, let's not clutter his valuable thread. I appreciate everyone's passion and respect those that push these machines to their limits (and sometimes beyond). Especially those that share their hard earned information unselfishly.

On another note, I spoke with a tech I know and he mentioned they (techs) are not allowed to open up and work on these transmissions under warranty. Anything goes wrong they send it out. Hope everyone is well.

Hit the nail on the head. If that's true (and I wouldn't want a dealer "tech" touching my tranny anyway) where is this secret or go-to tranny place that the dealer's use? Somebody (besides Hellno!) has to have some info on these things. This is where "the secrecy" thing with the Mopar world drives me crazy. There was a post on the other site about this kinda' stuff (secrecy) that pertained to Demon's group. And now Speedy is logging hours of time trying to find certain info to help out. @hellno tears this thing apart and BAM posts the info for all to see (THANK YOU!). Ok now we're ALL experts LOL. How many of us are gonna pull the tranny and do this even if we knew the info? The percentage of business lost would be 'nill to zero. That's my point on secrecy.

Hopefully Southern Hotrod was aware you where planning on using his knowledge to start rebuilding these yourself. If that is your plan.

Eddie was helpful but as for the knowledge part , I’ve been in the transmission business since 87 and all I did was look on his site and I knew them about the alto kit being used as for adding additional clutches to the packs we have been doing that forever it seems ,and Eddie only said they set the clearance tight , he never said hey Dave we set them to factory or we add extra clearance for additional clutches, there plenty of business to go around as for building these units if someone calls on me to go do them of course i will, bottom line is if you have a good product it sells itself,why people build these units and they won’t shift , I only have opinions , I’d have to pull one of them apart to figure it out

I believe most her will never experience a transmission problem but ones who pare pushing these cars eventually will or have already experienced it
