Mike, you said in another thread that you "Build in protection" for the non-defueled shifts, such as those from a PPE programmer with defuel turned off. The way the Tie-up "problem" was explained to me is that as the torque increases, the TCM speeds up the shift, until you get to a point where it tries to shift so fast, you end up in two gears at once and boom: tie up. So, my question is: How can you build protection into the hard parts from the TCM's programming? The only way I could see to protect the transmission from the TCM's programming would be to reprogram the TCM to not allow the shifts to get fast enough for a tie-up.

Well, I have heard you are the Mike L of the East so I'm guessing that answer would be just as golden as Mike's
How would you do this mechanically? Change spring rates for the clutches or in the valves? I'm curious as well.

Trim valves would be my guess. The problem is, if you slow down the oncoming clutch at the high end, won't it also slow down the low end and cause funky shifts down there?
