With your computer and a USB cable, you can read and configure your Quick Shift unit with easy to view and control displays. A keen operator can still make last-second updates with the configuration display and control knob on the unit itself.An array of essential tunes are also included on a CD-ROM or can be downloaded from the US Shift website. Diving into the more in-depth settings of this basic tune can be achieved with graphic-style displays via your laptop.“In our website’s support/software section, we have created many initial calibrations or ‘tunes’ to help you get started,” Chandler explains. “Each of these files was developed following months of actual vehicle testing. This removes the guesswork out of initial setups and gets your transmission functioning immediately without errors.”A multi-tune feature allows up to four different calibration tunes to be stored at one time. The driver can move between two of the calibrations with the flick of an installed toggle switch. It is a typical option to hold two “normal or aggressive” calibration tunes. Many hardcore enthusiasts have been known to wire the dual tune switch into the armed circuit of their nitrous system. When nitrous is engaged, it automatically changes to the aggressive transmission control.
Customizing your transmission's tune, shiftware, and converter lockup characteristics is easy with these straightforward graphical displays. US Shift also features many tutorial videos on YouTube to help you master the process.By adding your tachometer signal into the Quick 4 controller, you can also take advantage of US Shift’s adaptive learning process. This function will complete a learning cycle of the shift and TCC characteristics during the first few hard-throttle passes. This function can be disabled or reactivated as needed.Not only are you now equipped with full control of your electronic transmission, but you can also troubleshoot your system with easy-to-read error messages. Functions of your shift solenoids, control current parameters, and sensor malfunctions are quickly displayed on your controller readout display.The old school hydraulic race transmission still has a long way to go to obsolescence, but the new-school electronic transmissions are finding their way into the racing/performance world quite quickly with these performance controllers.
