7AT question

Diocletian · 04-27-2010, 10:01 PM

This is most likely a stupid question but I'm going to ask it anyway because it seems very odd for an automatic.

When in manual shift mode shouldn't the transmission auto shift at redline? I was on a private road and decided to actually snap off a couple redline shifts. I delayed my shift from 1st to 2nd a little to much and noticed the car revved to 8k.

I thought this was interesting so I tried again, not as fast this time and much to my surprise I bounced off the rev limiter not once but twice! It NEVER upshifted either, I quickly shifted it myself and just babied it the rest of the day.

Is this a normal occurrence? I assumed all auto's had that as a safety feature. Before you say anything I don't notice anything else odd with the tranny.

Manual mode is just that manual shifting. it's not a sports mode auto that tightens the shift pattern.

I think that would be a good upgrade in the next Z year. I loved the sport mode in my Audi.

The manual mode does not upshift.

if you wanted to make it upshift while in manual why not keep it in automatic?

And odd my revs don't go over 7500
