Looks hot I wish I had the time and motivation to do something with my interior. A+++

Looks nice! I think the green harnesses will look great. There is a point when everything gets too matchy. Your progress is coming along nicely, hopefully I can get going on mine soon now that my career is started. Just need the fiance to approve as soon as I get home from OKC in two weeks.

Thats awesome Ion. Your alero is so clean and slick.

i thought you were a 5 speed? i've been running a tranny/oil cooler combo for 3 yrs, i bypassed the factory cooler and i run 25% more line pressure, shifts are firm and very quick, tranny temps run about 180-190 during very hot days, makes a world of difference.

What do you mean by 25% more line pressure?

looks good ion, i want to get me a set of seats like that, the takata greens will look good once you get them in

Means he upped the values in the shift pressure tables by 25%. I upped mine and shortened the shift time.

yes, and i changed shift time to .002 seconds. i had a performance setting switch installed with "special" settings for racing, but when i started my programming over i disabled that and worked with the shift times and pressures.

jabartram · 03-27-2009, 01:22 AM

are you going to run the tranny cooler independently or in series with the factory cooler? is it a 2 or 4 row cooler?

In a series like you're supposed to. If you look at the picture, it's a 6 row. Might not be evident but it can clearly be seen it's more than 4 lol.

.002 seconds? Wishful thinking. There's no way it could shift that quick. Mine are all set around .100 sec.

ive been running a 4 row for 3 yrs without issue independently, im sorry i was wrong, its .02 the minimum setting the software allows. now i apologize for taking up the gurus time.

But not the "max pressure" which is set to 90 for stock, right?

The 2001 program I use has base pressure table settings higher in first gear than the stock 1999 program, but the trannys were upgraded in later years, I believe. I keep it stock and leave the torque management in, too, but switch it to max pressure via a terminal at the PCM (for racing only). For some reason my tranny does not like tweeks to those tables, so I gotta go with what works, while it works.

Trying to make shit out of absolutely nothing. Nice. All I said was that you can see in the picture the pipes run more than 4 times through the fins.. and that .002 second shift time value wouldn't do anything but make the trans shift as fast as it possibly can (but definitely not be .002 sec).

why can no one ever believe the 4T40E's capability

because its not a race car, hell mines slipping

[ion] C2 · 03-27-2009, 11:27 PM

You have a 4T45E.

[ion] C2 · 03-27-2009, 11:59 PM

Ya not sure what they did but they messed it up big time, ha. The 4T40E is typically solid up to around 325 tq.

Solid... with what modifications?

Honestly, it's not only that we think you're trying to put too much power through it, but doesn't it also have nearly 200,000 miles on it.

what the eff are you talking about, the 45 has a higher torque rating than the 40, the 40 was for the 4 cylinders the 45 was for the v6. meaning the 45 is capable of higher torque.....these trannys cant handle 325 torque stock... i dont know wtf your talking about

the 4T45E has pulse width modulated torque converter locking where the 40's were a solenoid actuated on/off setup.

According to the Hayes SM, the 40 has 200 lb ft of torque and the 45 has 215 lb ft rating
