i dont know actually alot of complaints about the tranny some guy actually was gunna sew someone over it.. they blow all the time so we have to put kits in them.. mine blew at 94000 miles.. seen em at 50000 go too.. kinda sucks but ya..

eh, not really. but it'* a cool tranny, none the less. easy to work on too.

i just kinda figured the T stood for transaxle thas all...

the T is for transverse and the L is for longitudinal

oh ok so does that mean they are the same then? im trying to learn here c'mon

The 4T65-E HD is smooth. Very unlike the 4T60 which has a harsh WOT 1-2nd upshift. I can't even tell the WOT 1-2nd upshift in the LSS. And yes, it does seem to shift kinda slow. I thought that was a problem but now that i'm reading this it seems to be a torque management type thing, eh? Shifting is actually smoother the harder I am on the gas strangly enough.

uhhh line pressure is what ive read and been told. by not givin her so much the line pressure is low causing a smooth shift.. get on it and the line pressure goes way up causing a harder shift... tranny shops will actually increase the line pressure for you so it shifts harder.. that is what TSI in MN here does at least.. i think hte tq thing is just on the higher end cars.. ok ill stop repeating myself

What I am saying is that when I get on it more it will shift SMOOTHER not harsher. And I think all 4T65-E HD trannies have torque management. Which makes sense since the ser 2 L67 puts out over 300 ftlbs in stock form.

yes there is severe TM controled by the PCM for the S2
