Re: Performance Trans Module Software Upgrade
Hi, I'm looking for feedback from either a regular Autocross or Track competitor. Does this TCU mod actually hold gear if I enter a turn at 5500RPM, will I be in the same gear after braking and going back to the throttle? I understand that it will up shift to protect the car when 6000RPM is reached. Will it stay in gear if I cook the turn and drift to slow or push through the turn? Not looking for superfluous it's supposed to, or stated to opinions. Has it truly held gear during real life track use? Thanks

In "S" mode, when using the paddles or autostick, it holds the gear right up to redline.

Re: Performance Trans Module Software Upgrade
I don't have a TCU tune or I'd speak up about it. But, what your asking the stock programming already does. I enter corners, or a set of corners at 5500 or more all the time and the car holds the gear. In S mode it won't shift until redline stock so I think your good to go. What I'd like is to be able to upshift before redline in certain situations even though I'm in manual or S mode and not yet at redline. After I iron out a few more pressing problems I'll be digging deeper into the TCU tunes myself.

Re: Performance Trans Module Software Upgrade
I guess I'm oversimplifying it.
For me, if an electronic controller is programmed to switch at an exact pre-progarmmed point then.......that's where it switches unless it receives input from another source to override the pre-programmed switching point.
Speedriven/Rudy do not put out products that are unproven.

Re: Performance Trans Module Software Upgrade
I'm thinking autocross results in more possibilities for this to happen to you. It could have something to do with the ECU adaptive learning. The harder I drive the more my car holds a gear. Or the fact that I usually maintain some throttle in the corners. I'm giving my car some gas before the apex. I always downshift manually and let the car upshift. Or maybe I've adapted my driving and know the tracks to the point that I don't let it happen. Whichever scenario doesn't help you much.

Re: Performance Trans Module Software Upgrade
I will be getting this set up soon, although I don't do the round track thing that often...I will be going straight thru 4 gears... Talking with Rudy, I believe Sparkie is right on, but I know you want to hear it from someone punishing that setup....so, we shall see soon....
