: Trans Slip w/Edge/Attitude Question

Hi Everyone,

I have a Juice with Attitude on an otherwise stock truck. At 60-70 MPH on the freeway today, I noticed that when I go from coasting to light acceleration there is about 0.6%-0.7% trans slip for an instant (that's less than 1%).

This occurs in both level 2 and 3. Is this normal?

Yes....mine behaves the same.

I believe it's electrical noise in the system and not actual slip. The measurement comes from comparing input/output speed sensors and I guess they don't always agree out to the millivolt...

I asked Edge about how they calculate the slip reading. They told me that they compute the Engine RPM vs the output shaft speed of the tranny. This gives a total slip reading (TC and tranny). As far as the small amount of slip it could still be what nwpadmax said but probably just noise in the output shaft sensor.

Yeah, any lost motion anywhere in the system would cause a slight mismatch in the RPM vs. Output shaft speed, i.e., noise in either signal, lash in gears, how instantaneous the sensors are, etc.
