18' Sport 6 speed trans a little rough.

I definitely find that letting off the clutch at too high or low rpms going into second can cause jerky shifts. Obviously helps if you let off more slowly. However I’ve found that letting off the clutch right at the RPM level the truck would be in at that speed in the next gear helps reduce the jerkiness significantly.

for example on flat ground going around 25mph in 2nd gear I’m generally at 2 to 2.5K RPMs. Letting off the clutch going from 1st to 2nd outside of that range results in much less smooth shifts since wheel speed and engine speed are not well aligned.

 

I rev match the downshifts but not clutching.

 

Your wish is my command.

 

Only when downshifting before a hill or if i need power right away. Before the ADM, i had to do a lot guessing when rev matching, now after the ADM, its much more linear. I love this tranny, i think its super smooth. Just wish throttle response was a bit better.

 

Would like to add, giving a bit of gas when completing your shift does wonders. So, when you almost released your clutch, blip the throttle just a bit, makes for a very nice gear change.

 

4hp, not bad, not bad at all. How many torques?

 

I'm counting 8 feet lbs.

 

Also, if you are in lower mainland we can meet once this covid shit is over and maybe you can see how i drive? Im able to be very smooth 90% of time.

 

Damn, is that with the Ov tune??

 

redbull and boudreaux's butt paste.

 

Trade in for an auto your trans is gonna blow up soon

 

I'll get right on that..... said no one ever. I like the manual, just takes some getting to it would seem lol

 

Taking your time on the 1-2 shift will help smooth it out. There's a big gap between first and second and those revs hang for what seems like an eternity.

 

Perform the ADM. Best mod on my truck so far and has made the shifting much more consistent and smooth. One of the members here on TW makes kits and currently has some available.
