Kick Down Lag

[runner4life]

Hi all.

Good to be back on here again.

I have noticed more so in the last few months (maybe I'm going crazy) that when im in drive wheather it be sports shift or normal, that when im cruising on 60 kp/h and then floor it (foot to floor), it take at least 1.5 seconds to actually drop to a decent gear and take it, when it does its brutal.

Anyone know anything you can do to eleviate this problem.

I drive the VE Commodore as Police cars and they are pathetic with the lag when flooring literally feels like dough, and I'm disappointed that my car is now like this.

I have a Transgo shift kit in, wheather or not that is causing any problems I am unsure.

Love to hear your input all.

Thanks!

The RE5 box's downfall is the Transmission TCU, it is the reason the shifts take so long, not the actual gearbox. I just wish someone had cracked the TCU to speed the shifts up, or even replacing the TCU with a programmable unit would be great but nothing is available as yet.

The TCU adjusts line pressure based on pedal position, so if you floor it the gearbox will shift as hard as it can, this is much harder with the Transgo obviously. Did Craig do the install? What fluid did you use?

Try resetting the ECU?
