normcloutier Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Is there a way to program or change how much throttle is required to make the transmission downshift? I finally figured out why I don't like driving my Edge. I have to press down way to much on the accelerator in order to make the tranny downshift. Which also may be the cause of my poor fuel economy. Feels like I am pulling a trailer. It seems like it's always one gear to high. Sluggish because there's no power in the current gear. By the time the vehicle downshifts, it's nearly 3/4 throttle which then causes such a jolt when it finally does downshift. I drive a F-150 club cab 4x4 as a service vehicle during the day and it drives like a dream compared to the edge. Great throttle response and shifting when expected.

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Unless there is a TSB out to address a mechanical or outdated PCM type cause of this issue, your best bet is to work with a tuner to get the shifting just the way you want it. If you are willing to work remotely and datalog, you can talk to Torrie @ Unleashing Tuning in FL. He has tuned a wide variety of vehicles remotely & on location. EMail is the best way to reach him quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CinnamonEdge Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 I feel the same way about my Edge. I had a 2004 Escape and Torrie's tunes made a huge difference in shifting. Im going to get a SCT tuner from him in the next few months then I can change the shift points and the firmness of the shifts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
