    Baisc Transmission Firmness

    I just did a trans service on my cavalier and installed a trans cooler as well(4t40e) ....im going to the dyno on july 6th but would like to at least firm up the shifts before i go....i feel like im really going to smoke the trans with the turbo on....just want to make it a little for firm in between....im trying to understand the tables in the transmission section but i am getting lost....where would i even begin to start...and tips/advice...maybe a basic trans 101....

    hope i posted this right....

    Try this shift pressure table-normal. Also zero the 100 psi column of the positive and negitive force motor tables. And set the max shift pressure to 96 from 90.
    Lowering the force motor positive & negitive tables also firm the shifts.
