Firm up shifts on 6L80E
Is there a method to firm up the shifts on a 6L80E without getting into the unit? As in tuning, that does not have unwanted side effects? I have a 2014 tahoe that I would like a firmer shift on.

Re: Firm up shifts on 6L80E
electronic controled trans can have a re-program for just this and lots of other things .
the line pressure / shift points / quickness / and so on . i my self have not played with one of them yet . but guys do it all the time.

HP Tuners does this. Takes some knowledge to get it done though.

Does manipulating the shift pressures shorten the life of the tranny in any way? I am not a street racer, I just like a more positive feeling shift.

Re: Firm up shifts on 6L80E
longer time between gears = more clutch slip .
so for the most part shorter shifts to a point will not hurt the trans . but full on race shifts and crazy mods do tend to shorten the life of some parts .
