I don't think my TC can slip.


That's my typing for 2day.

I just ordered pyro, boost and tranny temp and an "indash" mount from dieselmanor.com, the boost gauge reads 0 to 60psi (for future mods ) Also ordered up a electric fuel gauge with a "steering coloum" mount. the 3 gauge set ran just under $300.00USd. The three gauge set comes with all necessary bits for complete install, along with colour picture type of instructions .

tranny slip gauge ? never heard of one either...i wonder how that works.
Basically, it's measuring the input RPM's from the engine and then the RPM of the tranny after the TC.

When the TC locks, it should be a 1:1 drive ratio there. If it's not, it displays a percentage of slip on the screen.

Example:

Let's say that you we turning 2000RPM at the crank and 2000 RPM at the tranny input shaft. This, obviously is 0% slip.

Now, let's say at 2000 RPM (crank), you had 1980 RPM at the input shaft. You have 1% slip.

The most I've seen is 38%. This happens when the TC unlocks to go from 3rd to 4th in T/H mode. It's not actually slipping, the computer stills sees it as locked until it fully disengages.

The most I've had it slip when it was actually locked is about 9%. That was with the Juice on Level 4 and I hammered it from a stop.

It'll do it to if I have the power crank up on the highway and go from no or little skinny pedal and then stomp on it.
