Re: Optimal Shifting ??

auto shifting was easy with the super shifter when shifting at 60 psi.
just use hysteresis. average the speed between your 2 sides of the drivetrain.
shift up about 1-2 m/s slower then your low gear top speed and shift down 2m/s slower than your up shift set point. i have had 4 years experience with it. after a driver try's it he will demand it every year.
there was no noticeable delay when it shifted.
you must use 60 psi pneumatics for this to work, if you turn down your shift pressure there will be delays when shifting under load
