Hello! I just installed forced fours smart 150 TCM and I was just confused on some things in the software and some driveability issues I’m having. First thing is how aggressive the shifting is in low speed areas, I’m not quite sure what the settings mean in the soft shift tab, and another issue is the 2/3 flair I now have. Before I didn’t have this issue but now 2/3 is very harsh and sometimes comes in and out.. I’m wondering if this is a mechanical issue I’m facing that the stock TCU masked? Or maybe it’s the shift mapping and line pressure I’m not very sure. the fluid looks good still and is not low. However I’m not sure of the age of it
 
Brandon, see if you can "screenshot" any of the tabs on the software so we can all see the same thing. The hard shifting is set by a "number" in the softshift tab on my now extinct 100.1 but let me see if I have a picture to illustrate with. Do you have any tabs that are close to any of those I have pictured?
Sorry they are pictures of a computer screen, not screenshots.
On the MAPS, you never want the same color of solid and dashed lines to ever cross, they must stay apart. That is the upshift and downshift points in auto mode.
2-3 Flair is fixed by installing a 175hp shift kit.

certainly! I will get you photos of all my tabs that are in question once I am home. There are some slight differences between mine and your software but maybe we can figure out what they mean :D

Me and Marty have been going through it over Pm and we’ve made some good progress on the smoothness of shifting and general understanding of the software, it’s awesome!!

Very good! I have mine all set and tested with all stock tcu functions working along with a ratchet shifter! Youre going to love it
