So this is one of the reasons why a 4.44 AWD tranny controlled by a 3.54 TCU is a bad idea. Inserting the fuse changes the shift points and general feel quite dramatically. Not to mention the transfer clutch binding and jerking in the rear drive. The VSS1 is on the rear output shaft and the VSS2 on the front diff carrier..... the TCU sees quite a slip all the time.

The performance TCU from Micheal with the correct gear ratio programmed in is already at the airport.... will get it tomorrow :-).
