I’ve got a weird thing going on with my transmission when in manual mode on the xHP stage 3 tune (it’s done this ever since I’ve had xHP for the last few years). If I let the RPM’s get a little too high before I shift so that the motor hits the rev limiter, it’s like the transmission will lock in gear for 2-3 seconds before it actually shifts gears. Even if it shows the next higher gear on the dash display, the transmission still pauses for 2-3 seconds before it shifts.
Example: I’m in 2nd gear, I stomp on the gas, RPM’s start to climb up past 5K, tires break lose, tach blazes past 7K, hits rev limiter for a split second, I click the shifter back to shift to 3rd gear, dash display shows 3, transmission holds 2nd gear and doesn’t shift, I let off the gas and click the shifter back to shift again, dash display now shows 4, rpms are still crazy high and the transmission is still in 2nd gear, then after 2-3 seconds the transmission finally shifts…into 4th.
It’s like when the motor hits the limiter, it’s preventing the transmission from shifting, or the DME just has too many things going on at once between the rev limiter and request to shift the transmission.
I’ve tried raising the max shift points in manual mode up to 7,800…..same problem
I tried dropping the max shift points in manual mode down to 6,500…and then it just shifts on its’ own when it hits 6,500, and I don’t want that…..I want it to shift when I want it to, no matter if it accidentally hit the limiter or not.
No issues with shifting in sport mode, or D more, or even Manual mode...unless I accidentaly hit the rev limiter. The car has ran 10.90's at the track and it shifts perfect...but it's a prepper track, so I'm not breaking the tires lose and hitting the limiter, I'm shifting at around 6,800rpms.
Any ideas? Anyone else experience this issue with xHP?
