So basically I reached a point where the existing commercial definition could no longer answer the question. Instead of guessing mechanically or globally increasing pressure, I obtained the OS documentation, identified the missing control path, and worked directly with an HP Tuners engineer to expose individual VFS pressure scheduling. Now the next test can separate insufficient commanded clamping force from an actual hydraulic or mechanical fault.

I called Sonnax hoping they could tell me more about the solenoid pressure capacity and they didn’t know. They said post on HPTuners forum and/or contact my transmission builder.

I spoke with Kevin Quinlan and this is what he said: IMG 1229
So I’m starting them at 132 psi. Since they are all 110 I’m changing them all. I don’t believe they’re going to need too much. 50% more pressure would be 165psi.

20% is a safe starting point. Now that the TCM is programmed to its native GUB firmware everything will be speaking the same language. I’ve added all these channels to VCM Scanner when I log IMG 1192
I’ll just do 5-6 laps around the house easy as it relearns bc I also cleared all adaptive learning. Then I’ll just take it easy. Attempt to see if it grabs or not. If it slips at all. I stop and go back home and review the log.

And if it all looks good I’ll add more pressure. But I suspect I’ll feel a difference in 2 ways. It being programmed in all GUB now. And that 20% increase is going to be felt…so we will see
