Not all the tables are labeled accurately. I usually take tables B and up and set them to 0 in rpm and Speed at part throttle and WOT for 1-2 and 2-3. Downshift tables must be set to zero too.

anyone have any issues with this in a 01 TCM? does an 02 TCM file work better maybe? My upshifts and downshifts (speed) were set to 0 and it was shifting back and forth still.

i think you have to use rpm tables as well. iirc thats how i did it in the lbz/6speed tune

Was it shifting back and forth if you kept your foot on the pedal to raise the idle a little? Mine will shift back and forth if I leave the tps at 0%

Can you also tune it so you can leave it in D and have it not come out of 3rd? I would guess you would just have to run up the MPH and RPM tables for up shifts and down shifts?

I made a third start for mine that worked great. I will check it out when I get home but, everything set to zero on all the 1-2&2-3 shifts was all I done I think. I just put it in manual mode and 3rd automatically shows up :D
