Sport Mode in AT 370
Hi all,
I have an AT model and the autobox is typical slug when it comes to maintaining revs. Sure most of the time I drive using the paddles but the time when i am in auto an want to quickly get past something the car is sluggish as it is in maybe 6th, and if I have to really the foot down to get it to move, so it drops 2-3 gears and the engine is in very high revs and screaming which is just not needed. A few years back I drove an AT v6 Mustang which had Sport mode. It was just a button that meant the car maintained at least 3000RPM which made using auto mode and overtaking a breeze. Has anyone (and I don't hold out much hope as most here seem to be on MT) ever tried to get something like this fitted to the 370? I am imagining a remap of ECU with a switch that changes it between slug and sport mode. ie in slug mode it uses OEM map and flick switch it goes to marinating higher revs for ease of overtaking. |

When my car was tuned by Specialty Z, it seemed to fix some of that. It’s still not perfect but better.

Popping g the shifter to the left should put you in sport mode.
Or simply blip the downshift paddle when you need to pass. It'll automatically go back to slush mode if un used for a while. Or simply jiggle the shifter left (into sport mode) then immediately back right (out of sport mode) That's how my 5AT is set up anyway But what really makes a difference is a shift kit in the valve body |

Remaps of TCU aren't possible, the only thing they can do is fool the ECU to produce more line pressure for harder shifts. This does nothing to fix the fact that the trans. always wants to upshift at 1500 rpms.
