Sport Shift?

[dark_stalker]

sport shift sucks, especially when it get mess up.

Sport shift = shifting up at a higher RPM doesnt give you a power boost or anything. I have owned an auto 90ex didnt feel a difference at all other than shifting at redline so I left it in drive and cut the sport button wire while installing my shift knob.

Isnt it called sports mode??

Sportshift is the tiptronic right?

Sports mode just shifts higher up in the rev range.

try driving in normal mode, normal throttle, and the trans will shift at just over 2k rpms

engage sports mode, same throttle, the gears will shift a bit higher, about3k rom.

thats my experience with my previous F22a sports mode

A little bit I have expriences with my 90 accord for 4 years. When you dont use Sport mode "Overdrive" you See that automatically shift about 2k to 2.5k almost or almost 3k, and if you keep presing the gas pedal slowly then it shift so quickly the next Gear giving more heavy to gain power, So if you use Sport mode You can get a little bit higher RPM, but you notice that you get more gas kill. One important thing I cannot reach over 100 Mph using the S mode, dont know why lol... I dont know if I spell Ok. thanks sorry my english.

For someone who comes from a country where English is not the primary language, I can understand you better than most of the US residents on here!

Sport mode is pretty worthless. At partial throttle, it does just what Blazt said... it shifts higher than normal. At full throttle, it'll shift at the same place no matter what.

I never heard the 100mph thing... That's interesting. Has anyone else experienced that?

just buy a 5 speed dude lol

but yeah

on my eclipse i used to own

it was a 1999 Eclipse Oz Rally Racing Edition

and it had this sport shift buttom thing too

i didn't really find the use of it

Fucking Mitsubishi Engines

Yeah i just don't fuck around.

I manually shift my shit. I have a h23 IM, header, aem sri, and a 174k f22a6 and it pulls all the way to rev limiter. I almost never leave it in D4 cuz that i no fun. My trans shifts fine, and doesn't slip. When i leave it in D4 it still works fine. Either way i have 2 extra autos so f*ck it

[cb7rider]

i had a 91' auto, and wen i used it it seemed that the shifts got longer and went a lil faster... lol wat i used to do was put that sport mode on, and then drop down into d1 and go thru the d's lol...man the good old day. but then i got into an accident and totalled it and now its gone... but now i hav my new baby! so it all works out...plus i like this one wayyy more

[drew12000]

we need somebody with a dyno to try this.

[aRaKNiD]

So I have a automatic and a manual?!

No...from the posts I read, the first reply to your question was the best. The button simply changes the gear ratio at which the AUTOMATIC tranny changes gears. Meaning, Normal it shifts at a certain RPM, in Sports, it gives the tranny a few more seconds, building RPMS a little higher then shifting. The fact someone had to manually shift their automatic tranny was simply that they had something wrong with their transmission...that's not normal. I've had three of these cars, all which had this sports button, none which I had to manually shift.

[dark_stalker]

it sucks and pointless, well thats my opinion.

[Djmoua]

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

LOL im gonna def. keep this from ya Deeve tahaha

edit>>>basically just get a 5spd cb7 or do a 5spd swap man...you'll feel much more difference

[ex_style90]

Yea.....-_-..um , my issue bout this has been solved some few years ago..lol. jk , but ethier way cant hurt for me to learn more....btw, props to whoever resurrected this old thread!
