I think i might of just found it, decided to go looking through the other calibration i had double checking everything and boom I didnt have pin Gear shift manual blip request assigned.....
Honestly a bit of a how to from beek would of been nice, i just so happened to ask them for all the inputs from CAN that i could use and they emailed me a list:
FLSPEED_SLOT //Slave an13
FRSPEED_SLOT //Slave an14
RLSPEED_SLOT //Slave an15
RRSPEED_SLOT //Slave an16
LATG_SLOT //Slave an17
SHIFTER_SLOT //Slave an18
BRAKEP_SLOT //Slave an19
GEAR_SLOT //Slave an20
BLIP_SLOT //Slave an21
ACREQ_SLOT //Slave an22
LIMP_SLOT //Slave an23
TRQLIM_SLOT //Slave an24
GEARCUT_SLOT //Slave an25
REVERSE_SLOT //Slave an26
CLUTCHA_SLOT //Slave an27
CLUTCHB_SLOT //Slave an28
But had i not asked i would of never got!

Oh well that was short lived hope!
Did some more logs today and still no blip request!

there are some fuel reductions and ign retards around what look like upshifts. But you aren't logging the reason for these reductions. Just that there are reductions.
No idea what's happening around the shifts though or what is instigating them
You'd assume there should be some sort of marker that initiates these and any cuts

Yeh the upshifts are fine, maybe a bit agressive but fine. I dont think there is any cut actually happening for the upshifts?
Gaz at GR showed me one of his logs and he gets signal back to request a blip so iv now got to figure out why im not getting this, it could be a CAL issue or it could be the TCU tune not giving me a signal back

As I said, there are fuel reductions and ign retard during what appears to be upshifts. But you are not logging the reasons for these actions.

Pass i have no idea as the ecu is set up to log gear cut!
Soooo i have been having a good look about in the Cal again and my Gearshift mode is set to NONE..... Could this be the reason.....

I never said gear cut.
I stated you need to, log the reasons for the torque reductions.

So iv been in contact with TVS and Beek,
TVS said the TCU should 100% be sending back a request for a cut or blip.
Beek asked me to log all Slave AN inputs and AN inputs so i did.
S1AN21 is supposed to be the blip request from the gearbox and you can see it on the logs but for some reason it looks like an afterthought once the gear has been selected rather than post paddle/pre gear change. Im going to assume theres something not quite right with the firmware as they have had that data for a few days now and iv not heard anything back.
