Well I made my self imposed deadline everything is in place and works now. I didn’t build the tent rack as the weather forecast for south Texas for the next several days includes rain every day. We decided to stay local, going to take it to the track tomorrow and then run it to Branson for a silver dollar city trip.
Was an eventful couple days though! The shift point that were messed up weren’t from the tune, but the rigged VSS. I plugged my scan tool in and was able to view the speed from the VSS. It was all over the place. I assumed I had a bad sensor. Pulled t case and pulled t case adapter off the trans. The drivetrain already had an advance adapters reluctor ring kit installed. It was kinda rigged up, as it wasn’t really meant for the 6 bolt adapter like this one (or atleast that was what I gathered from reading on their site). The spot where the last guy positioned it he had to flip the ring on the output shaft around backwards so it would read due to the sensor not being able to go any further forward. Doing so made it difficult to get it square on the shaft. With correct orientation it seats properly, but backwards it’s easy to get it just a little crooked.
Anyways, replaced the sensor and double checked the reluctor ring when I had it tore down. I was able to square it up better than it was. Reinstalled everything. Nothing. No shifts at all, no speedometer reading on scan tool. Read some more on the advance adapters literature and the clearance was supposed to be .010-.012” and I was positivie there was more gap than that.
So my best guess is that before when the reluctor ring wasn’t square it was wobbling and getting closer on the one side (when it would pick up) then further on the other side (when I would drop). So pulled it back apart. Messed with the mounts ring surface where the bung goes into the adapter housing and got the clearances right. Put the original sensor back in there and works like a champ! Shifts like it’s suppsed to now! It’s amazing what .010” too much will do.
Cleaning it and one of the dirt bikes up thisevening, looking forward to spinning some laps tomorrow.
