Just considering a simple stage 1 tune. I have no issues with how my transmission performs.

What is the general thought on getting the transmission tune...is it required? Will I hate the COBB tune without it?

Thanks in advance.

Try the stage 2 tune. Puts the truck where it should be.

You can add the TCM tune later no problem if you think you need it.

The Cobb Accessport with standard tune is a very popular item when it comes adding power to these trucks. The nice thing about the Cobb product line is you can continually add their parts and even their transmission tune as time progresses. If you install the Stage 1 and are still looking for more, you can add the intake and/or intercooler.

The shift points in the stock Raptor definitely leaves room for improvement. Cobb's trans tune will provide significantly better shift points should you decide to add that piece down the road. But we don't believe that you will any strong objections to the tune without it.

We've got plenty of Cobb Accessports in stock if we can assist. Don't hesistate to reach out.

I have Cobb Stage 2 without the transmission tune as it was released after I got it done. The Stage 2 tune turns the Raptor into a weapon and I love it - highly recommend. I've heard good reports for the transmission tune and it's on the list..

Thanks for the kind words, folks!

To reiterate what has already been said, the transmission tune is not required to run our engine tunes, but I do highly recommend it. If you buy an ECU-only Accessport, you can purchase the software license to enable TCM tuning at any point - this is done remotely, so no need to ship the Accessport anywhere. The only thing to consider here is that all software licenses sales are final, so there is no return on a remote TCM feature activation.

HOWEVER, if you want to try the TCM tuning and see if it is worth it to you, you could purchase an Accessport new that has ECU and TCM tuning. Install it to your truck and try out the different TCM maps. If you decide that the TCM tuning isn't for you, you can uninstall that Accessport from the ECU and TCM and return it via our 30-day return policy (full refund, but you do pay for return shipping). Then, re-order an Accessport that has ECU-only support. Or, keep the ECU and TCM Accessport if you do like it! Keep in mind that returns need to be processed through the party you purchased the device from - if you purchase through us directly, you would process a return to us; if you purchase through an authorized dealer/Protuner, you would need to process the return through them.

Let us know if you have any other questions!

Thanks,
Sam@COBB

Go straight to goosetuned! He uses the COBB platform. He will take care of all of your needs! He’s the man!! Amazing customer service, great prices, and his tunes are the best. Mild and conservative yet powerful in all of the right places. His Trans tune is amazing as well. My truck rides better then it ever has!

I have his custom stage 2 because I have several performance upgrades. He worked with me back and forth several times to dial in my “specific” trucks characteristics.

Again, he’s the man!!

By the way... COBB as a company is equally amazing. Simply the best in every sense of the word!
