: Allison shifting when pulling Cummin_Stroke_this_Dmax 06-02-2005, 07:56 PM Ok - scenario: drive to a pull, turn up the power boxes, drop the T-bars.... yadda yadda yadda. My question is what can be done to speed up the shifts on the tranny? I read it takes the Ally 20-30 shifts per gear for it to learn how to shift. I've noticed that once you put it in 4-Lo the tranny shifts way slow just like the first time I installed the Predator on 65. To me that slow shift is detrimental to the pull. Any suggestions? moss022 06-02-2005, 08:35 PM still stock tranny? drive it as hard to the pull as you can and hope for the best. co-pilot maybe? dozerboy 06-02-2005, 10:22 PM The only thing I THINK you could do is a better TC or the co-pilot if you can even put it on a stocker. WI Huck 06-02-2005, 11:45 PM Since you only get one shot at the pulls, Moss is right. Put it in race mode and drive like a mad man on the way to the race. Hope that the local law man doesn’t see you. It works for me, but the wife in the chase car is not real impressed. The kids dig it though.):h Micheal Tomac 06-03-2005, 12:42 AM one of many benefits of the ATS copilot DMax_Doug 06-03-2005, 01:52 AM Like the man above said, CoPilot. Fast, hard, consistent shifts. WI Huck 06-03-2005, 09:56 AM Even with the copilot, the first run at the drag strip is a throw away, right? So that would mean that the transmission has to be ready for the pull since you only get one chance.

It's not outside of my realm to drive like a madman, but I try to limit myself since I'm still on the stock tranny. I have to really hold myself back as the two little dudes sitting on my shoulder are screaming "faster, faster!"

It helps to turn the shift firmness all the way up. | ||
