    Trans Tuning - Help Needed!

    Hey Guys,

    I had my car custom tuned since I Eaton swapped it and I don’t like the way the tuner set up the trans? I had a Zack tune for years and I loved the way it drove.

    Can anybody give me some tips to pass along to the tuner? Shift points? Shift pressure? TC lock up?

    Thx guys!!

    Don't bother contacting Lidio at Alternative Auto. They no longer support the Marauder, too old. I contacted him with a question about my tune, I need to set it back to stock for E-check. It flunked for the first time in OH. They got new software. Thanks to FastMerc for giving me a solution. Something to think about for Cleveland. Whereabouts? Amherst here!
    MARAUDERS get me ****!

    have MartyO tune it remotely or my email. best trans shift schedule you'll get by anyone. Of course, don't expect him to give your tuner his trans parameters, that's not right.

    mine is set up exactly like this, but at 65mph (highway) . And it unlocks when you decel under 55...extended shifting n every gear, faster downshifts.
    I never need to manually shift my car!
