Goodmorning Mr Aliens8.....
How is that possible? An extra neg wire to the throttle and the tranny shifts like silk... We do have allready a big neg ground on the engine??? Or do I miss something? What makes the tran shift like that?

You Talking to ME!
The RABS sensor on the rear diff will cause some of those issues. The VSS on the tranny itself will do the same.
This may sound silly, but mine was doing the same thing awhile back - not all the time, but every once in awhile, felt like I got rear-ended when it shifted. I replaced the ground leads off the battery with 4 guage wire (starter lead and core support lead), and added a ground from the neg battery post to one of the throttle body bolts. That made my tranny shift like silk... of course I had replaced the RABS and VSS previously with some improvement on both sensors.

SweeT!
I agree with the "felt like I got rear-ended when it shifted" statement..I am going to do this on mine and see if it helps.. Seems to happen 60% of the time...Thanks!!!!

I don't know what makes it work - it just does. I have the e4od, which is electronically controlled. I guess having a better ground helps the controls work right? Can't really explain it, but I'll take it!
