If 

Select Pairs Together

 is enabled, then the corresponding down-shift point 

will be automatically selected along with the up-shift point. This can be turned 
off  by  clicking  the 

  checkbox  on  the  right.  You  can  select 

multiple points by holding CTRL while clicking the points or a range of points 
by holding SHIFT and clicking the two points on each end. You can move 
between adjacent points using the LEFT and RIGHT arrow keys. 
Once a point (or points) is selected, you can drag it with the mouse to raise 
and lower its value. A yellow box will appear in the graph telling you what the 
value of the point is. 
 

Shift Timing Learning

 

By default, the Torc Module will learn the shift and TCC timing characteristics 
of your transmission. It will complete a learning cycle over the first few hard-
throttle passes and will use the learned data to optimize shifts. For learning 
to occur,  the  engine RPM  input signal must  be  connected  and functioning 
properly. During the learning cycle, you may notice unusual TCC operation. 
This is normal and will end once learning is complete. Once learned, the data 
will  not  change  unless  it  is  erased  using  the  clear  command  on  the 
controller's  user  interface,  found  in  Diagnostics  >  Clear  >  Shift  Timing. 
Clearing the data will cause another learning cycle to begin. This could be 
useful if the transmission is altered or upgraded in some way. 
 
For  optimum accuracy,  learning  should  be  done  at the same transmission 
fluid temperature that it will be run at during normal operation. Once learned, 
shift  point  accuracy  will  only  be  limited  by  the  consistency  of  your 
transmission's valve body. 
 
To  view  a  report  on  the  learned  data,  connect  the  controller  to  a  PC  with 
Shiftware  installed.  Click  File,  then  Generate  Diagnostic  Report.  This  will 
read the data from the controller and open the report in a browser window. 
 
If  you  wish  to  disable  learning,  enter  Settings  in  the  tuning  software  and 
switch to the Miscellaneous tab. Uncheck the   checkbox. This will stop the 
controller from using learned data, but will not erase the learned data. This 
would  be  useful  if  you  plan  to  make  changes  to  the  transmission  or  are 
unable to complete a proper learning cycle.
