#784, "RE: Manual shifting an ATX....Consequences and Repercussions?" In response to In response to 3
dont do it The transmission wasnt designed to go "ok i need more power downshift vrooooooooooooooooom!!!"
Thats only for engine braking and going up hills in those situations only according to the manual. Did I do it, yes But I know my transmission didnt like it.
The only consequence I can think of is any byproducts of heat, like slipping and all that other good stuff we love.
Isnt probably anything technical you wanna hear in this post but id say dont do the shifting unless you HAVE to ya know? Just isnt made to do that - get a "sport shift" mod or w/e so the TCU or ECU knows youre gunna shift and then shift, but not just randomly.
Ive always wondered the Cs and the Rs are of this, if anyone knows for sure technically id like to know!
