    Sport Shift?

    Ok, before I start, ive looked all over the forums for a related topic like this one but couldnt find one. Anywho, I have a 1990 ex coupe. Its an automatic. I also have something called sport shift which im sure most of you all have too. I hadnt had my cb7 very long but I was wondering whats that EXACTLY for. I just need a complete breakdown and understanding of how it works.. Thanks

    I believe only the 90/91's had this option from the factory. It has to do with at what point your AUTO tranny decides to shift.. The SPORT setting is designed from what I understand to serve as a little extra boost of power when trying to pass a slower driver or enter the highway. It simply raises the RPM at which the transmission shifts to the next gear. I have found from experience that it is best, if you want better gas mileage to only use it when you need it, entering highways or passing. With it engaged during normal city driving you will notice a drop in your gas mileage. It isnt a major drop but it is enough that I noticed it. Hope that helps. Later

        The automatic now featured electronic shift control and two shift modes: Normal and Sport. Sport improved acceleration by delaying upshifts to higher rpm than in Normal mode.

          Well let me put it this way.. Then when you use sport shift you then drive the car like a manual?

            im not sure about this.

            I dont think you have to but i might be wrong.

            the only experience i have with the S button came by way of my dads 90 accord...but i never used it because back then i had no clue what anything was lol...

            when it would rain there was a short and the sport would kick on and id HAVE to manually shift it....

            id be in D4 and vroooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooommmmmm and i knew to drop to 1 and go up because of my dad...if he didnt tell me...i woulda blew the tranny lol....

            Ive learned some things since then, but i own a 93 so no S button lol

                Im guessing the sports button is more like the "overdrive off" button...

                it would probably allow for higher rpm shifts....

                although not like a manual gearbox, you can choose sports if u need that extra punch from the engine; going up hill, if u want to speed up on an on ramp...and so on.

                    The sport shift is USELESS. As said, in DRIVE, it delays shift points to higher RPM. The f22a makes little to no power in upper RPM, thus, useless.

                      Wow... lots of misleading information!


                      NEVER drive your automatic like a manual... unless you want to learn how to replace a transmission.

                      The sport shift button, as said above, simply raises the shift points. Instead of shifting at, say, 4500rpm at 75% throttle, it'll shift at 5500rpm. When the car shifts at that higher rpm, it'll shift into a range where the engine is putting more power to the wheels... meaning you'll have a faster rate of acceleration. Honestly, it's not really all that useful (also said above). That's probably the reason why it wasn't continued in the later models!

                      The F22A1/4 makes it's peak power at 5200rpm, so taking it up that high, and slightly higher, would make for the best acceleration. If the transmission shifts to about 2800 or so instead of 2200, you won't get that "shift bog". It's beneficial when passing, or when you need to get out of the way of approaching traffic while merging. Full throttle would probably do the same thing though.

                            would be cool if the sport button acted like the sport buttons on the ferrari haha normal driving.......sport button BOOM turbo powa.

                            nah i've never really noticed a difference when I was driving my buddies auto with sport button, maybe when i was merging onto the freeway it did bring the rpm's up about 1k but thats really it, never noticed any difference in power or whatev.

                              It's just the transmission. Wouldn't do anything with power anyway.


                              At full throttle, the transmission shifts at the same place no matter what... so the sport button is only for part-throttle... which makes it, well, worthless!
