I had issues on the 1-2 shift with wheel hop/traction. Torrie worked around it by adjusting the shift parameters. Just have to find the ideal shift setup to keep from blasting the tires.

Yeah I used to get wheel spin into 2nd on cold tires. Enough to bring the traction control light on but now it rarely happens.
I'm running a 12 gph nozzle.

Sometimes a "stutter" between the 1-2 shift has been misdiagnosed as wheel hop. It can be caused by too much shift pressure but others seem to have eliminated it with a simple transmission fluid change. The stutter has been described as the car attempting to shift - not shifting - attempting to shift - not shifting and then shifting - all of this in a split second.
Mine was fine for over a year and a half. It would chirp the tires on the 1-2 shift easily and on some surfaces, it would break the tires loose completely but I never had wheel hop or stutter. All of a sudden, mine began this wheel hop or shift stutter crap. I had the shift pressure reduced and it solved the issue. When I decided to go drag racing, I changed the transmission fluid and put the higher pressure shift tune back in. I haven't had the issue again and that has been over a year ago and 30 or so drag strip runs.

I changed the fluid and the "hop" went away as well.
It is very easy... one plug directly under the car.

Hey guys thanks for all your replies i fixed what was happening by changing to the 4x soft shift tune.
Brandon, I also switched to the softer shift tune for awhile. It was a discussion with the tuner who put doubt in my mind that I was feeling wheel hop at all. His point was that the high pressure shift "stutter" feels like wheel hop but is not. As I said before, when I decided to take my car to the track, I changed the ATF and put the high pressure shift tune back in. I have not had the issue since even with the high pressure tune. By the way, I just changed my ATF again after only 10,000 miles just as a precaution.
One other thing to ponder: Some have suggested that the transmission's adaptive learning feature can play a role in this. I know of cases where simply reloading the same tune has seemingly eliminated this issue. For all I know, that is why my issue went away and it had nothing to do with the ATF change. :dunno:
