: 2nd-3rd Shift is jerky???

Hi All,

I have the SC Cortex with the 91 Tune and 50% on Torque management, shift points are Superchips values.

In S and M mode my 2-3 shift is horrible regardless of throttle position. All other shifts are smooth as butter.

The only thing I can think of is 2-3 weeks ago I nailed a downshift on the hiway right as S mode was grabbing one as well. I went from 5th to 3rd when meaning to hit 4th.
I was going about 120Km/hr but it didn't even come close to redline in 3rd...I popped it back over to D right away to correct...car seemed fine afterwards.

Any tranny experts have thoughts? Can one gear be affected while the rest perform perfectly in this unit?

Thanks
JD

2-3 shift problem is well documented. You likely just caused it to show up worse/sooner with your shifting incident.

mine does the same thing with the intense tune, if im not playing around i just ease off the gas between that shift. it only does it in sport and manual mode otherwise its gravy.
