Re: 4th Gear Slip under load

Okay so I did the LED tests... and the pressure relief solenoid seems to be ALWAYS ON...not good. It is currently spare output #1 selected to operate as a selective clutch, is there a mod that I was supposed to do to the board to use it as a Sel. Clutch?? I tried setting it to "User Spare port&...

Re: 4th Gear Slip under load

Lance, Okay, thanks for that, It is a MSExtra on CANBUS so I will re-examine my wiring, I remember having a stripped wire close to the daughtercard... It was just odd that the errors only existed when accelerating, I might hookup the LEDs to the solenoid-out wires again to check for 100% operation a...

4th Gear Slip under load

Hi all, I decided to start a new topic concerning slippage in my transmission under moderate load in 4th gear. What boggles me is the PC% reports a random drop out to 0% upon acceleration, and my SP2% (4th gear apply solenoid) also begins to drop out to 0%. Could this be a Datalog/CANCOMM error, or ...

Re: VW MK3 01M on MegaShift

Ha, yeah.. I forgot to post it... But now it's up. My VSS still drops out at 72-77 mph, but not as dramatically as before. My real problem now is the PC solenoid not adjusting pressure on shifts! I would not like to, but maybe I should start a new topic about it.

Re: VSS help please

Addicted,

I cannot really help all too much with my VR snesor, but with changing R59 and R45 really helped me out a lot. I increased the 300K to 400K and increased the 10K to 47K and my speedo is almost perfect now at 65% .. Just a thought.

Re: VW MK3 01M on MegaShift

"Here's my datalog, It appears that the VSS gets errors when accelerating and is perfect and smooth when decelerating.. Anyone know what may cause this??" Nevermind, it was a bad tire calc (wrong diameter boo) and a noisy signal (duhh). VSS Still drops out but now only drops to 30mph, I wi...

Re: VW MK3 01M on MegaShift

To all, It has been a month with the Megashift functioning pretty well. I use manual mode now for high speeds and have been experimenting with different resistors in the 300K (R59?) slot. Low resistors (100K-200K) seem to make it worse, and I have not tried resistors higher that that. I will definit...

Re: Put Trans in Neutral won't shift till stop

Seeing as MegaShift is only for track use, I see no safety hazard unless you are illegally driving your car on public roads :mrgreen:

VSS randomly reports 1mph...

Ok been tuning it for a few weeks and finially got it to shift smoothly into 4th gear and not neutral drop lol. However, the VSS will randomly report 8mph when on the freeway and as you might be able to tell that causes a rapid 2nd gear switch, drivline jolt, and a 6,000 rpm motor.... Now I wont go ...

Re: Best TPS signal on a VW Mk4 for MShift?

Yes use the TPS, MAP load makes shifting and tuning whack.
