Tuned Coyotes with the 6R80

[2012GT]

I've had the Steeda 93 tune since 1,000 miles and now have 19,000 miles. The tune immediately turned the car into an untamed animal just as I'm sure AED, BBR, VMP , Amazon and others have done for you. I'm wondering if anyone has the same traction/ shift issue that I have and if there is a tuner that offers a cure.--- At wot when the car shifts from 1-2 and the tires break loose, the car shifts into 3rd to get traction. The car gets traction and because the rpms are still low in 3rd and you're at wot the car shifts back down to 2nd to get back in the power band. So in essence you get a 1-2-3-2 shift pattern at wot if you're not on drag radials. Is there a tune/ tuner out there that addresses this issue for our bullet proof automatics?

on my 13 auto I do not have that issue you have. my car at WOT will shift 1-2-3-4-5-6 without going back into a lower a gear to get traction. the only reason it will go back in a gear is it I let off the gas an get back on it. I Run at AED from shaun.

I have an 11 with AED tune mine doesn't do that either, I would notify your turner about that issue.

 

[D.T.R]

I hope mine won't do that. That'll suck.

My 12 is tuned by JDM and it does not do that.. definitely get with your tuner

Its the tune. The car has to meet a certain RPM and MPH before it shifts, they have it set too low

 

[PLASMAN]

VMP tune on 13 A6 with 26k mikes has never done this...its a tuning issue

I agree with you. When the car spins it shifts...period. Regardless of mph.

Mine spins on the 1-2 shift but keeps pulling through the gears. I have a lag between the 1-2 at WOT though...kinda like missing a shift in a manual car..for about a little over a second and the pedal is still on the floor. When it shifts it's not like a powershift with a manual but more like hitting 7 grand, hitting the clutch, shifting and waiting a second, then releasing the clutch. If that makes sense.

Check with steeda, there may be an update.

it's not an "update" that's needed. The proper shift points need to be dialed in.

This was an issue back in 2010 when the cars first started getting tuned. The reason being, they don't just shift on rpm, they shift on mph as well.

They need to be balanced out properly or you'll continue having the issue

Any idea on what mine's doing? About 2 posts up.

My 13 had a similar issue on the 1-2 shift, the shift was firm but did not feel quick. Switched to a different tuner and fixed my issue.

more than likely the solenoid timing is off

I disagree. If you go to the track, go through the water box and try to heat the tires up in DRIVE,the car will shift to 2nd than 3rd and you will be going zero mph. Try it. You'll see. Its not going to allow you to heat the tires up in drive and the tranny stay in 1st gear because the mph hasn't been reached. I think it the tranny shifts at a certain rpm OR mph. I dont think it has to meet both to shift.

Op... It's the tune. I've used, Brenspeed, JPC and Lund. Never had that issue. A couple of years ago, Steeda didn't even do automatic trans tunes, just manual. I've read where they admitted to not having much automatic trans experience. I would try Lund or other shops with more automatic experience/success.

 

[04sleeper]

I have not had this issue either.

Thanks. I'll be sure to mention that when I get a new tune from a different tuner.

You're right. I love the guys at steeda but they are manual oriented and if I went mt82 I'd get a Steeda tune that day. I talked to Rick at Amazon and he knew what the car was doing before I even finished explaining it to him. Needless to say, I'm making a trip to NC as soon as I get a day off on a clear day. Looking to probably get a circle D installed as well.

Looking forward to meeting you.
Rick had that figured out a log time ago and now he has the LT cars not passing emissions programming figured out too.
