Note: Please refer to the Banks IQ
Software & Installation Kit owner’s
Manual for software installation and
operation instruction before beginning
Section 6, Automatic transmission
Learning.
The 6.6L Chevy Duramax Trucks
equipped with the Allison 1000
6-speed automatic overdrive
transmission use an adaptive shift
control logic. This will require the
transmission to adapt to the additional
power created by the Banks Power
products before it will shift properly.
Failure to follow the sequence can
result in damage to the transmission.
Perform the following sequence at a
location where it is safe to accelerate
without exceeding the posted speed
limit.
1.
Set Six-Gun Tuner to Level 1 power
setting, start the truck and allow the
engine to reach normal operating
temperature.
2.
Adjust Six-Gun to Level 2, power
setting.
3.
Drive vehicle for 5 to 10 miles
ensuring a complete shift cycle though
each gear. (The transmission shift
adaptation learning process requires
15 to 30 complete shift cycles to learn
new shift program.)
4.
Increase power level by one and
repeat Step 3 until the desired power
level is achieved.
WARNING: Take particular care not
to do wide open runs in 5th gear
when in Automatic transmission
Learning Mode.
The Allison 1000 6-speed automatic
transmission will continually adapt
to the power output of the engine to
optimize shift quality. The transmission
will quickly adapt to the power setting
if the driving cycle includes regular
gear changes at high loads. The
transmission learning procedure will
need to be repeated when switching
back to the higher power settings
once the transmission adapts to
the lower power settings. It will be
apparent when the transmission
adapts to the lower settings by
monitoring the feel of the gearshift.
Gear changes will be noticeably harder
when initially switching from a higher
to lower power setting. This will soften
as the transmission adapts to the new
setting.
