In terms of performance and durability for an automatic transmission, the most
important improvement that can be made is to re-program the Control Assemblies.
These assemblies regulate the functions of the entire transmission; 95% of shift
performance comes from programming.
Installing a Trans-Go Re-programming Kit will
instantly improve the whole personality of your GM or Chevrolet, FORD and CHRYSLER automatic
transmissions.
Factory programming achieves comfort.
The automatic transmissions coming off the assembly lines in Detroit are truly masterpieces
of engineering. But engineers have been asked
to program the shifting for smoothness
and comfort. Also, consumer attitude surveys show that drivers believe a soft, smooth
shift is easier
on the transmission. Actually, just the reverse is true.
To add comfort, Detroit designers have had to subtract a considerable amount of efficiency
and durability. They have
achieved comfort by extending the time duration of every shift. Not only does power
slip away during this extended shift,
but all friction surfaces receive excessive wear because they are asked to work overtime.
The stock automatic takes longer to complete each shift. Points
A to B, Figure 1 show only mild acceleration. During this period only a partial power
condition exists because the friction
elements are slipping.
This extended slipping time prevents the inertial energy from being efficiently utilized.
It is lost in the form of heat on the clutches and bands, instead of being utilized
for forward motion. Continually operating a stock automatic at full throttle will
cause early friction element failure.
To get high performance and improved durability in an automatic, we must improve
the way it executes every shift.
Trans-Go re-programming achieves durability and performance.
So if you are willing to accept a faster shift, which will subtract some comfort,
you can restore full performance and durability. This is exactly what a Trans-Go
Re-Programming Kit does for you. It makes each shift faster and more efficient. As
a result, durability of the transmission is immediately doubled. |
|
Re-Programming Goal:Make the shift
faster without losing precision.
|
The problem now becomes clear that what we need is re-programming that will precisely
control the complicated chain of events that occur
during every shift and do it in
a far briefer span of time.
This is exactly what Trans-Go has accomplished. Trans-Go kits cut slipping time by
more than 70% (even more in the
Competition version) and at the same time improve the quality of the shifting action
itself. Figures 1 and 2 show the results.
The automatic with a re-programming kit installed now shifts
fast enough to take advantage of inertial energy from rotating mass, including the
inertial energy from the transmission itself. Notice also the higher speed recorded
(C) as the curve leaves the chart. In driving this conversion at full throttle a
sudden forward lurch can be felt when it shifts, very similar to a power-shifted
4-speed.
You get better control and back to low at any speed. |
|
|
Trans-Go kits give you more complete gear control of your transmission.
Most kits offer Shift Command, a special feature of our re-programming that allows
you to shift back to low at any speed! Trans-Go kits also retain fully automatic
shifting in the "D" position.
As the elapsed time of shifting is decreased, the life
of the transmission friction materials is increased.
Installing a Trans-Go Re-Programming kit will at least double the life of
the friction materials in the transmission. In many heavy duty applications,
a Trans-Go kit has made the difference
between a few months service without repair and several years. |
|
|
The shorter shift time allows the friction elements and gears far less time to wear
themselves out. The useful life of the
friction elements in a transmission is directly related to the amount of slipping
that is allowed to occur during shifts.
Slipping converts useful energy to heat on the surface of the clutches and bands.
This heat transforms the friction material
to ash, which polishes its mating element, causing further slipping, heat and deterioration
of the friction elements.
The gears receive less wear, too. A slow shift causes them to be partially engaged
for a longer period during the gear
changing process, resulting in unnecessary heat, wear and power loss.
Are quicker shifts all that matters?
Not by a long way. We have seen what can be gained in durability and performance
with quicker
shifts. Overlap is also extremely important. Overlap is a condition caused by applying
a gear before
the previous gear has been released.
| Excessive overlap as seen in the Fig. 3 converts engine horsepower
into damaging heat and causes clutch wear, band wear, shift delays, short oil life,
and increased gasoline usage |
|
|
Factory programming includes an excessive amount of overlap.
This is done purely for smoothness. Overlap causes delayed shifts. Overlap is the
main cause of shift delay, or hesitation when shifting manually.
Excessive Overlap is eliminated with Trans-Go Re-Programming. The difference is felt
immediately and there are substantial increases in
performance, durability and fuel
economy.
The TransGo Performance Shift Kits provide the Durability,
Firmness and Control with the convenience of no transmission removal required.
