Got my cobb today and am a bit bored at work. Don't have time to take the car to the workshop as it's the weekend but want to try to upgrade the TCM myself to see what the fuss is about in the meantime

I want to upgrade to LC5 and was wondering anyone know which map name and transmission type to select?

Map Name :

* Level 1 - 3300 RPM

* Level 2 - 3700 RPM

* Stock Style LC2 Logic

Transmission Type:

JF04B JF09D JF09E JW91A JW91B JW91D

When you go to install the TCM it will tell you which software version you have, then install KB15B (I think thats the code off the top of my head) LC4 VDC OFF V101...or at least thats what we like to use. Its nice :)

Once finished -

Set CC and TP values to zero then perform a Clutch Gear Relearn.

Set CC and TP to desired after that. Start with CC +1, +1, and TP 0, 0

Did the upgrade to LC4 with VDC OFF as recommended by Martin and it is a day and night difference to the LC2. Smoother shifts especially from 1st to 2nd and no more shuddering when taking off slowly or slowing to a near stop and then moving off again. Will play around with LC5 this week to see what the difference (if any is).

Hmmmmm The bunny hopping and mild shudder I get in 1st when cold is starting to bug me - as well as reversing the bl00dy thing up a slightly inclined driveway to get out of the garage is doing my head in trying to find the right acc balance point so that I don't launch into the street, or bunny hop or get that clunking clutch slip noise....

What to do what to do... I wanna keep my warranty, but I hate this shit..

CC = Clutch Capacity for Odd and Even gears.

Adjustments range from -7 to +7 and linearly increase clutch apply pressure when shifting.

Normally from the factory these are set to 0 (right in the middle)

On a moderately powered up car setting these to +2 +2 is a good step

In a high powered car then +4 +4 is the go.

I dont go much over that as its hard on the seals and gears to run massive pressures.

Its a feel thing.

TP = Touch Point for Odd and Even gears

Touch Point is best explained as the prepositioning or pre-load on the clutches.

Adding more Odd TP will give more creep in 1st gear at idle speed

I normally leave these as close to 0 as to get the desired driving result

Hope that helps :)

haha how will lc4/5 improve the clutch take up point though?

i'm waiting on my code to upgrade the accessport - can be done through the ap manager now rather than having to send it back to US

i'm hoping the newer launch programs have better control on wheel slip, as 4000k lc will just dry my tyres even more than my current lc3

I was bored and flashed from LC4 to LC5. Maybe it's a psychological thing but I actually like LC4 better for day to day driving. It makes less sound and was a bit smoother during start/stop? I heard LC4 had more slip in the clutch, is this the reason?

I have since reflashed back to LC4 from LC5

Ok. Just followed these instructions precisely. Now I'll take it for a spin and see what the difference is. Still CC at +3 otherwise there is to much slip.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
