Auto Gearbox Remap/Recalibration
Discussion
Hi All, has anyone here had their 6L80E remapped? If so, is it the Walkinshaw or Wortec version you're running?
Even better, has anyone actually compared the two side by side and is there a great difference?
I see Walkinshaw is £399 and Wortec £479.95 and would be interested to hear your comments.
Monkfish are closer to me but if there's nothing in it, £80 in the tank and a jolly old drive is enjoyable too

I had mine done by walkinshaws, 4 yrs ago when i first purchased the car... well 2 months afterwards.
the gear changes and selections were crap, to say the least, in traffic it couldnt make its mind up which gear it wanted. been happy with it since the recalibration, on the auto, its a must in my opinion

I've had both on my car at various points due to issues i've had with the gearbox and I was quite happy with both. Monkfish say the wortec map behaves more like a lazy v8 in standard mode and livens up more in sport. Perhaps I don't drive sufficiently like a hooligan to notice but I cannot say I have noticed a huge difference.

You need the map out of the latest VF (NA) Not perfect but nearly.
+1 Sports mode is great. Ive not touched anything and cant think of anything to change...Well except making normal mode the same as sport and making sport more agressive that is.
But for the most part its good. Especially when it goes into the enhanced mode. PAS or whatever it is called.
I just drive the wifes VXR8 in manual mode when I want more fun. Took a little practice but once I worked the best changes / rpm out it is great. I did originally think about a remap.
Normal= happy lazy drive. Super stuck in traffic mode
Sport = At least I can pull away quicker now
Manual= wife saying why is my car making that noise and can you slow down a bit please. " no please its not funny now is it"
