    New 4L60E went soft

    I just overhauled the 4l60e in my truck, and for the first couple drives the vcm scanner was showing a constant 92psi for 'Line pressure desired', no matter what throttle/load/rpm. The trans was shifting really quick and firm. Just recently as i was trying to collect some data before making adjustments, i noticed that the shifts softened up SIGNIFICANTLY. its not slipping (at least i think). i haven't made a WOT pull because i was nervous there was an issue, and i didn't want to damage something with less than 100 miles on it.
    Anyways, now the shift pressure will vary with load/throttle/rpm. the scanner was showing 0psi at idle and would climb around depending on how i was driving it. the highest i saw was ~70psi. (but i wasnt driving very aggresivly)
    i do understand they learn adaptive shifts and adjust pressure accordingly

    so here are my questions:
    stupid question first- why are the pressure tables showing 92psi line pressure, when i thought i should be around 200something for line pressure? what pressure is this reading/how/where is it measuring it from?

    i have the shift time set to 0, and the shift adapt x,y,z set to disabled, why didn't my pressure go back to the unlearned 92psi?

    is there a way to unlearn shift adapt in HP tuners?


    in attempt to unlearn the shift adapt, i disconnected my battery ground for about 15mins, and nothing changed. still soft.

    as far as the mechanical modifications go:
    shift kit- trans scat TCI (#376002)
    vette servo
    sonnax .490 boost valve
    TCI 3000stall converter


    im trying to figure out if i have a mechanical issue, or if its simply a computer/cal issue. any help is greatly appreciated

    Okay, so I used a friends scanner and reset all of the adaptive pressures. The trans is still just as soft?!

    Then, I made a WOT pull from a stop. The shifts felt good, zero recorded slips, no shift flare, and I spun 3 tires on the launch. Any ideas? I have the battery disconnected again, I was told it should take up to an hour. So I'm going to give it a try.

    The magical log file and actual tune file could be handy here.
    2016 Silverado CCSB 5.3/6L80e, not as slow but still heavy.

    If you don't post your tune and logs when you have questions you aren't helping yourself.

    Trans still soft...

    What other channels should I log? Time to put a mechanical gauge on it?
