: more co-pilot ?S
PEANUTGRWR 10-21-2006, 06:21 PM as many of you know i installed a copilot on one of my trucks not long ago. when it shifts up from gear to gear, should i be able to feel it shift "harder"? it doesnt seem to make it shift any harder. all lights on the box light up when i arm it to "kill" and seems to come one and work but it just dont seem to shift any harder. i cannt really tell any difference with it on or off:o:

Mike L. 10-21-2006, 06:39 PM Are you running Transgo trim valves?
PEANUTGRWR 10-21-2006, 07:14 PM yes mike i am, are there any advantages or disadvantages to this?
PEANUTGRWR 10-22-2006, 12:21 AM seems to shift lots better after i reset all taps for a while then has the quircky 3-4 shift have a race tomarrow would it be bad to reset taps before each pass????
IdahoRob 10-22-2006, 09:58 AM I reset mine before the first pass of the day and leave it.
THAMAX 10-22-2006, 03:51 PM i have the same prob with the 3rd shift it kind of jolts and is a slower shift. now will the transgo trim valves affect the copilot's shift enhancement
PEANUTGRWR 10-22-2006, 09:17 PM we are about to our wits end with it, im fixin to pull the tranny out of my 02 and put in it to see it that makes any difference. might try the tcm before i do that though.
Mike L. 10-22-2006, 10:13 PM Call me Jon.
IdahoRob 10-23-2006, 10:33 AM I reset mine before the first pass of the day and leave it.
Well, I lied. Loaded tcm tune when I got to the track. I ran twice with the tranny shifting great. Third time the tranny was very cold and shifted not so good. I reloaded the tcm tune, and the next round, shifted great.

you running a co pilot with the tcm tunning then reset the taps, is that correct

I used to install another tcm at the track, now I just load a tcm tune into the tcm with efi at the track, hitting the "clear tap cells at completion" button. This usually works great for me when running the new co-pilot.
The reason I bought the co-pilot was because my converter wasn't locking consistantly. I now feel that was because of tranny temps. I make passes sometimes with the trans at 100-120*. Maybe MikeL. can help here. This problem may be overcome using efi to over ride the lockup control, saving a lot of money, I just don't know though.
What ever the case, my tranny shifts very, very well at the track with a Bobo ecm tune, Bobo tcm tune, and coupled with the co-pilot. I couldn't ask for a better shifting trans.
charles hays 10-23-2006, 01:50 PM rob one more??.

No, I run a low HP Bobo tow tune around the street. Gets 20+mph in mixed use driving:ro) I get to the track and load up the killer race tune and the tcm tune and to the starting line I go.
My truck shifted great without the co-pilot using this method. I feel the tuning I use has a great impact on tranny shifting. Co-pilot didn't change my shifts, just makes the converter lock everytime, which helped me in bracket racing.

I thought somebody else other then Bobo makes tunes for your truck Rob? :rolleyes: ):h

So I've heard. Must be loading the tunes when I'm sleeping or something.
teamfutaba 10-25-2006, 07:58 PM idaho rob, i was looking at your garage and it looks like you only have the transgo and a converter. is the rest of your tranny stock internally....
DieselSpeed 10-26-2006, 07:31 PM Are you running Transgo trim valves?
Do you run them with the CoPilot, Mike?
PEANUTGRWR 10-26-2006, 10:49 PM i think with the gen 2 copilot you can use the transgo trim valves
DieselSpeed 10-27-2006, 05:27 PM I've heard there's potential to create tie-ups with the combination of the 2...
PEANUTGRWR 10-27-2006, 05:37 PM no, theres no tie-up problem when using the transgo valves
Mike L. 10-27-2006, 05:45 PM Do you run them with the CoPilot, Mike?
Yes I do.
DieselSpeed 10-27-2006, 06:06 PM Yes I do.
Well, there you have it I guess
