Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

Were you using gear lock on the the Beta tune? I had the best driving experience with the gear lock!

 

Having the same issue, the downshifting going up hills is back. The prior 2.0 was great at holding going up hills in sixth gear this one seems to want to downshift at every hill. I only have about two hundred miles on it. I hope it just hasn't settled in yet.

 

What version tune is that?

 

B04, 91, thx 4:88, prem. I love this latest version but the downshifting is happening on every hill. The last 2.0, 91, 4.88 was great at holding 6th on most hills.

 

Which tire size?

 

That is the same ECU but i am on 91+THX+4.88+33" but having same shifting pattern on the slightest incline or even if i give a little more pedal in 6th it drops to 5th on flat roads.

 

Have any of you clocked 500 miles.
I did not even change the shifting tables from last time

 

So I’m trying to download and run flash manager but this pops up



I thought I deleted everything. Even in the download file it doesn’t show I have it. What gives?

 

Not yet Mat i have only 120 miles . I was going to wait but i saw that someone had posted already about it. I will wait for the 500 mile mark and see if it works out.

 

I didn’t use gearlock that much, but it was nice to have the option when I wanted

 

33

 

I did not, which is why I wanted to wait to post my opinion. People just coaxed it out of me. I have about 225 miles on the tune so far and if it doesn’t get better I might try the stock tire size tune with the non-thx throttle to see if it’s any different

 

I got use to using it all the time and it is a great option . Will be nice to have it back when Mat updates FM.

 

I may have about 250 miles, I love the tune as is but the one thing that I noticed and hasn't changed is that the last 2.0 pulled great without downshifting, this tune has consistently downshift at every hill I go over. Not knocking the tune just was surprised that it is happening since the prior beta was so consistent. I hope it will remedy its self in the next two hundred fifty miles because I really like everything else.

 

The thing that sucks is my memory is so bad that I legit don’t remember if I had this issue in the start of the last tune file I tried which ended up turning out fine

 

Probably resetting AT contributes to the re-learning process. Mine does a 6-5 downshift as well but it’s so smooth it’s hardly noticeable. I’m thinking this could be normal behaviour.

 

Have you guys confirmed the downshifts as opposed to the TC unlocking?

 

Man this is sad. 3rd Gen sucks. I wonder why is build this way ‍♂️

 

I’m monitoring which gear it’s in using a scangauge. The 2.0 tune gives me 6-5 smooth. The stock tune gave me 6-4 with a bang.

 

TC locking/unlocking wouldn’t be a 1500 rpm jump. It’s not hard to tell the difference between the TC and a shift
