Further development of 4L60E calibrations is the main reason, The 1st & 2nd ratio change will also change 1-2 & 2-3 shift feel. I'm VERY picky on how a shift feels & I don't use customers vehicles for testbed purposes.
The secondary reason is the Torque Arm relocation required for the 80E, It moves the Torque Arm Bushing off the trans tail housing to the trans crossmember. Under hard acceleration I can feel some vibration. Tried adjust the Torque Arm up & down along with different drive shaft angles via the moving the trans up & down in the chassis.
I even went as far as welding & machining a 80E tailhousing for a TH400 Bushing to make the slip yoke fit tighter.
The Polyurethane Torque Arm bushing is part of the problem as is the Torque Arm no longer articulating with the trans. It's really not that bad.....But my OCD & picky nature doesn't allow me to just live with it.
