If Select Pairs Together is enabled, then the corresponding down-shift point will
be automatically selected along with the up-shift point. This can be turned off by
clicking the checkbox on the right. You can select multiple
points by holding CTRL while clicking the points or a range of points by holding
SHIFT and clicking the two points on each end. You can move between adjacent
points using the LEFT and RIGHT arrow keys.
Once a point (or points) is selected, you can drag it with the mouse to raise and
lower its value. A yellow box will appear in the graph telling you what the value
of the point is.
Adaptive Learning
We recommend leaving adaptive learning disabled for the 6R80 because its
shift timing is very consistent and learning is not required.
Adaptive learning can be used to learn the shift and TCC timing characteristics
of your transmission. It will complete a learning cycle over the first few hard-
throttle passes and will use the learned data to optimize shifts. For learning to
occur, the engine RPM input signal must be connected and functioning properly.
During the learning cycle, you may notice unusual TCC operation. This is
normal and will end once learning is complete. Once learned, the data will not
change unless it is erased using the clear command on the controller’s user
interface, found in Diagnostics > Clear > Shift Timing. Clearing the data will
cause another learning cycle to begin. This could be useful if the transmission is
altered or upgraded in some way.
For optimum accuracy, learning should be done at the same transmission fluid
temperature that it will be run at during normal operation. Once learned, shift
point accuracy will only be limited by the consistency of your transmission’s
valve body.
To view a report on the learned data, connect the controller to a pc with
Shiftware installed. Click File, then Generate Diagnostic Report. This will read
the data from the controller and open the report in a browser window.
To enable adaptive learning, enter Settings in the tuning software, switch to the
Miscellaneous tab, then click the checkbox. The
learning procedure will occur the next time you drive the vehicle. Unchecking it
will stop the controller from using learned data, but will not erase the learned
data. This would be useful if you plan to make changes to the transmission or
are unable to complete a proper learning cycle.
