This has been the most information I have been able to find on this topic so far. Thank you I will be using your guide to tune my 6 speed.

Very informative video. I appreciate your ability to speak and explain things in a way that’s easily understandable.

I just finished reinstalling my 6L80 for the second time since 01/19. I'm finding your videos on the 6L80 Rebuild and all related to it very helpful. So thank you very much!

Can’t thank you enough for this. Night and day difference!

This guy is awesome. Very clear and informative. No B.S. with this guy. Sharing this to my Facebook and Instagram. Keep making these videos please!

Thank you! I just finished updating apply/release for 1st through 4th to 318/317mph. The truck still drives just fine and I can sleep well at night knowing my torque converter isn't being abused from just driving around town. Thanks for helping me stop the madness

I just saw the write up that VCM has to tune a high stall converter and is pretty much the same as you in the transmission side. In my cammed camaro with a high stall torque converter and 3.91 I kind of have the same tune. The shifts are quick and smooth AF. This is a very good video for people that are begining to tuning to learn from it.

Great job. Very well done.

Nice job 👍🏻

thanks Richard this something i have curious about & thinking about getting into

Man it's too easy for what we do with it. I wouldn't want to be without it. I realize that it $100 per vehicle but a zip kit cost more, both T-go kit are about that, the fluid is almost that, and none of those things gives YOU the power to chose when and how it shifts!

Super helpful, thank you!

Don’t know much about tuning but i agree these transmissions tunes’ definitely are madness. i can totally feel when my lock up kicks in, in first gear. lurches me forward. Starting to think my TC is just going out. But maybe i should just look for someone as comfortable as you around SoCal, to tune my ‘15 1500.

Thanks man seems more responsive. Its funny my tuner said there was no way to do this.

Thanks for this video! Just HP tuned a customers 6l80 that had bad TCC shudder. Fixed it with a tune.

Good video sir. Just preventatively swapped in a HD billet B&I converter in my 47,000 mile 2017 Sierra 2500hd 6.0 4x4 6L90E. I have a snow plowing business and am looking to ensure I can get as much life out of the transmission as possible. Tuning the TCM to disable TCC 1-4 was something the converter company recommended. Thank you for the info.

My stock 2015 Yukon (5.3) has 135k miles on the original TC and trans. I just bought a GM Tow Package Torque converter (dual clutch like the ZL1/CTSV TC, just with 3 bolt holes instead of 6), to replace my stock single clutch TC as preventative maintenance. My trans still shifts like butter and has zero issues. I also bought a Sonnax Zip Kit, the trans go clutch select valves and a TECHM rebuild kit to put in as well. I have HP tuners and will stop the TCC slip 1-4, should get at least another 135k miles out of the TC doing this, we will see how the rest of the trans holds up. This was all about $900 all said and done with OEM trans fluid.

@Richard Wardell can you please define what you mean by TCC Apply? If the tcc is applying, does that mean it is slipping, or not slipping? If a tcc apply percentage is say 20%, does that mean the tcc is slipping 20% or slipping 80%?

Please ; one more question, maybe stupid question. Why there are different patterns? I mean why there are pattern A , pattern B ..? Which of them the car use while driving?

Good stuff thank you. Stop the madness and get that torque converter clutch under control; I am in full agreement. These steps can also be applied in SCT Advantage 3 for a Ford transaxle/transmission who's clutch is driving you crazy with aggressive clutching in low gears. This video has been very helpful.

noo why do i want to disable the tcc apply in all the gears? i want this trans over 4l80e for the extra gears and the ability to lock the converter in all gears?

Amazing Video, Could you help on the 8L45, Lower end shifts suck

hey!! i have a sierra 14 with transmission acting weird specially in low gears ( clunking slipping it seems the vehicle does not know which gear to be in) will this tune help??

Will this method generate more heat ? Worried about overheating the converter

Will this eliminate a shutter in first to second..heard this is fix for it.. trying to find out I've got 65k miles

If i sent you my stock file could you look at the trans and see if you might be able to figure out why it’s slipping at cruising speeds or on a slight incline

Would you apply similar changes to the 8L90?

I really appreciate this I’m at the moment tuning my new rebuilt 6l80 and he did a shity job my factory trans lasted 240thou I’m having some torque slip when commanding 10 so I’m trying to get it worked out I’m doing a lot to the motor will this be ok in a higher performance application it will generate more heat being unlocked in lower gears I do have a bigger coolant system please let me know thank I just subscribed so can’t wait for more

Man each case is different. You would be better off to find a good shop to do the tuning.

I have 2011 Yukon XL 2500 ECM, it came with 6L90e , for my swap project I need 6L80 , What should I change on the ECM to use the 6L80 instead of 6L90

My transmission acts like it is slipping if I kick it down or roll on the gas to hard or fast and it shifts hard sometimes from first to second sometimes from second to third I MEAN HARD LIKE TO THE POINT OF ME WORRYING ABOUT IT BREAKING SOMETHING. Anyone know if a shift cylinoid, a filter needing replaced, or the torque converter would cause this???? I hope I dont have to have the whole thing rebuilt. Fluid is full and looks and smells good. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Ah hell seriously? The factory locks TCC in all first four gears... that is madness! How do they keep from getting knock?

I don't do HP work. I use the tool to make the trans function like it should if the factory cared at all if it lives. I could only assume that you would lower the shift points TPS vs VSS so it shifts in the maximum torque range instead of being tached out. I would lockout the TCC above 70% throttle.

Depends on what you want to do long term because we charge labor when they come back and ask for something else so if you want to be able to tweak it later buy your own rig and we make a few bucks on the credits too

most likely, depends on who's providing that coverage, you'd need to read the warranty's fine print... I would be surprised if it did Not void it.

What’s the cost of this

So this causes torque converter slip in 1-4 like an older vehicle and more fuel consumption and heat from slip in stop and go traffic. There has got to be an in between .

I suppose I could for those in my area. We do it for overhaul customers. Out of town folks need to find a tuner near them.

I would have kept the lockup in 4th gear. As far as what you said about 5th gear lockup at 31mph, it won't really ever be in 5th at that speed unless you have a low gear rear end. I think the lowest factory one in a 16 1500 model was a 3.73. It likely would only see 5th gear when slowing down. I don't think my truck ever even shifts to 5th until around 40.

​@rdick218 hi. 2017 sierra with 6l80. My mechanic changed torque converter to billet one and said no programing needed. Is he right or should I go to different shop?

I have HP Tuners MPVI2, and I found an item called Mountain Mode. It is in the Tap up/ Tap Down menu. What does it do, and is it available on my 6L80 in my 2014 GMC Sierra 4 X 4. PCM of North Carolina did a tune for me, engine & transmission, I requested that they do this for me, but it wasn't done. I'm not bad mouthing PCM of North Carolina, the email tune they did works fine. This Mountain Mode shows that it is disabled, can I enable it myself. Just wondering if you have ever tried this.
