    The transission shift strategies bilt into the Lyshol ECu calibration

    spplied with this it have been designed and tested to wor properly with

    the Lyshol Spercharger nder noral driving conditions at the Lyshol

    spplied power levels. Towing, racing, perforance driving, hard accelerations

    and other heavy/severe dty driving activities place extra deands on the

    vehicle's atoatic transission and its cooling syste. If yo se or plan to

    se yor newly spercharged vehicle nder any of these deanding driving

    conditions, Lyshol sggests that yo evalate yor atoatic transission

    syste. Several copanies ae prodcts to increase yor transission's

    sefl life.

    Shift Iprover kit: These products are designed to improve the performance

    and durability of your vehicle's transmission by enhancing the internal hydraulic

    system. This results in a positive shift with reduced slippage and heat generation

    under extreme conditions.

    Oil Cooler: Transmission oil coolers keep the transmission's vital hydraulic uid

    temperature under control. Excessive uid temperature will cause transmission

    failure. If your vehicle was not equipped with an external air/oil transmission

    cooler (typically mounted in front of the radiator, directly behind the grille), you

    need to consider adding one for improved durability. If your vehicle was equippedwith a factory transmission oil cooler and you plan on heavy duty towing or

    severe driving, Lysholm suggests upgrading to a larger unit.

    Oil Pan: Aftermarket deep sump pans allow the use of extra uid to further

    stabilize uid temperature in your transmission.

    G. Remove the oil filler neck and cap from the

    passenger side valve cover. The neck is

    removed in a similar fashion to the cap, but

    has a locking tab preventing inadvertent

    removal. Twist the neck counter-clockwise

    while gently working it back and forth and itwill loosen and eventually slide out. Take

    care not to break any pieces off of the neck

    that may drop into the valve cover. See Fig

    1C

    neck and reinstall the cap. See Fig. 1D

    H. Remove the plastic panel covering the area

    between the grille and the radiator core

    support. Carefully disengage the eight (8)

    clips (seven on 05 - 07 Classic; six on

    SUV) holding it in place with a flat-tip

    screwdriver or similar tool and retain them

    for reassembly. See Fig. 1E

    I. Remove the grille by removing the four (4)

    10mm-headed fasteners (six on SUV) onthe top surface ('07 NEW BODY - '09 only)

    and then disengaging the six (6) retaining

    clips (number may vary) that secure it to

    the radiator core support. GMC Sierra mod-

    els have additional tabs securing the bum-

    per cover to the grille. These tabs need to

    be depressed and the bumper cover

    pushed out (forward) to release the grille.

    solenoid into the bore of the protrusion on

    the front of the Lysholm supercharger intake

    manifold from the top. Secure it using theexisting fastener at the base of the protru-

    sion, placing the included .130 spacer

    between the solenoid and the manifold if

    needed to make the EVAP solenoid sit flat.

    Thread the NPT x 5/16 barb fitting into

    the bottom of the protrusion, using an appro-

    priate pipe thread sealant.

    '07 NEW BODY - '10: Slide the EVAP sole-

    noid down into position on the bracket on the

    driver side of the Lysholm manifold similar inshape and location to the EVAP bracket on

    the OEM intake manifold.

    J. Remove the OEM intake manifold gaskets

    from the intake manifold and thoroughly

    inspect them. If the sealing surfaces appear

    to be damaged replace the gaskets with the

    appropriate OEM replacement parts.

    K. Modify the OEM intake manifold gaskets as

    shown in Figure 3F and Figure 3G, carefullytrimming off the indicated protrusions for

    clearance with the Lysholm intake. Trim the

    center shark fin down in height to fit into the

    relief on the intake, and remove one of the

    end clips completely. The center clip and

    one end clip need to remain intact test fit

    each gaset to the intae to clarify which

    clip needs to be reoved. Reduce the

    height of the dome-shaped protrusions by

    about 2/3 as shown in Figure 3H (this is to

    improve installation clearance to the cowland may not be necessary on the Classic

    HD models or other trucks with a body lift).

    Take care to only remove as much material

    as necessary without damaging the sealing

    surfaces of the gasket.
