So, I will be researching this issue and report my progress.
Odds are good it’s a VB shift valve or solenoid issue, but not sure yet. |
I swapped over the entire VR valve body with solenoids and employed the Z's TCM. My 3-4 shift is still harsh (had this problem with the OE Z trans) and now so is the 4-5. I'm leaning toward needing a new Z TCM as stated above the valves were swapped from the VR.
All downshifts are much tighter and no more driveline "slop" that felt like a blown mount or bushings.
