What does the sport button do?

[aznsyco84]

This might be a really stupid question, but what does the sport button do?

[sonikaccord]

it makes the tranny shift at a higher rpm

[Akira_kj]

exactly, it shifts at higher rpm allowing your engine to acheve higher rpms and a touch more power before shifting.... at a cost to your gas milage. helps the heavy thud felt in high milage auto transmissions by giving the motor a higher rpm to drop into in the next gear... might not extend the life of the tranny but feels better for some reason.

like everyone has said it makes it shift higher but it seems to me in my car that is doesnt help acceleration just because it seems that my torque drops off around 6k rpms, so its actually faster to shift at around 5k in my vehicle. prob just that my motor is old and needs a rebuild though.
just my 2 cents

So you guys are saying that it's better to ride your cb7 wid sports shift than wid it off. Cuz I was bout to ask da same question of what does the sports shift button do cuz I've put it on n I did not feel any difference.

my car is auto and it usually shifts around 3000rpm. Is that normal?

My dad had a 91 accord i believe...maybe an ex not sure but it had that sport button and i hated it(this was before i got into the scene) because when it would rain it would just kick in on its own so id have to bring it down to 1 and go back to d4 cuz it would stick or something..but if it worked and i had it on the SE that might be coo.....

Fucks up your tranny big time

well that would obviously depend on how hard you're giving it

mine seems to like shifting around 3k when I'm takin it easy around town. sometimes 2500, sometimes 3500. (90 lx auto... with sports button on, usually more like 4k to 4500, but again depends on how hard I'm pushing. sometimes it'll get over 5k)

yea it is normal, if your only pushing pedal a little bit. getting over 5k isnt that much really with the sports button on mine gets to the 6.5k mark at WOT without sports and a bit higher with it on but like i said that doesnt really make me go much faster, especially in first because it seems like my torque drops and it just hangs at like 6.5k and doesnt accelerate super fast for the RPMs its turning

when the sports lite goes on after it rains its your comp putting you in "limp" mode, my car does that ocassionally too and i have heard that is it is solder on the main relay that has come loose. im not sure if it is really what it is because mine doesnt happen enough for me to go out and replace things until it stops working, and if i just pull the battery so it resets the comps then it normally goes away

that could so be mis-quoted..haha
