No one has tuned an Aisin before. So uh, save your money there.
I have been working on another approach... Which is quite promising.

I have been working on another approach... Which is quite promising.
"TRIFECTA presents a complete powertrain power delivery profile recalibration for the MY2014+ Chevrolet Cruze 2.0TD Clean Turbo Diesel LUZ Engine and corresponding Aisin AF40 6-speed automatic transmission reprogramming.
Specifications of the TRIFECTA Performance MY2014+ Chevrolet Cruze 2.0TD Aisin AF40 6-Speed automatic transmission TCM calibration software reprogramming:
-Supplementary Aisin transmission TCM reprogramming compliments the ECM reprogramming and completes the TRIFECTA Powertrain Calibration: designed to work in unison with the ECM reprogramming for optimized performance
-Improved shift times in adverse shift patterns
-Improved shift logic
-Does not shorten transmission life or increase cooling requirements
-Retains all OE diagnostics functionality and TCM diagnostics
-Retains all OE error code reporting and functionality
-Improved fuel economy with improvements made to torque converter slip profiles"
And based on emails I have from Vince, it also gets rid of torque management.

No one has tuned it before. I don't know what more to say. Either its completely false, or is torn from another vehicle.
No other GM vehicle that was out when the CTD tune came out that had an Aisin to my knowledge.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AWTF-80_SC take your pick.
Look, they got a tune to work for the diesel, I really respect that. Something not very many people can pull off.
What I don't respect is how they sell their stuff. They live under the guise of borderline fraudulent statements like "increased combustion cycle efficiency" and make 100% false promises like that "it also gets rid of torque management". They will say the engine will throw gold out of the exhaust just to sell a few tunes.
That's all I'm going to say. I just don't want anyone to get hurt by them because they are promising to fix these transmission problems when they don't even understand how their own tune works.

Well, from both you guys say, i think im gonna stay with my Tranny stock tuned for now. Just gonna use Manual mode for Full throttle.
What does the Wikipedia article mean...we all know what transmission it is...
Nothing in there says it cannot be tuned.

Im guessing he's saying they took a tune from another car with the same Tranny, like a Volvo or something.

You're just hating as hard as you possibly can. They've tuned the SRX for a long time.

Anyway, its the best a Cruze Diesel can do, unless it would be way more modified. (Bigger turbo, injectors, suspension, ect...)
But with more power, traction would be a big problem. Even at my power lvl i had difficulty hookin'up on a preped track with our open diff, that's with 225mm PZero tires, lol, so...
You're lucky they prep your track. I have to deal with trying to launch my Cobalt (supercharged - so 14psi instantly off the line) on tracks that aren't prepped at all - that is unless I want to drive hours and get about one run in. Even with my 225 ZIIs it's impossible not to spin.

Ya, i was happy with the results and the people there were impressed too, both by the power and the Smoke, lol. My car doesnt have anything writen on it, quite the sleeper and when i did a run, there was so much smoke that when i finished and i cameback to the parking, there was still smoke in the air!
I was the only Cruze there and the only Diesel.

I've kinda put my tunes into generations. I know some of the Gen 2 and 3 files are easily sub 15 second. But they have problems which the what I call the 'Gen 4' set out to solve.
I haven't really had the time yet to make a super powerful Gen 4 version yet. The one I do am working with is relatively smokeless and is fairly mild. Definitely not as wild as the earlier ones but some people like it a lot better.
Hey if you want to try it let me know. Although there's the whole.. Autocal issue.
