I have been reading threads on short AT knob. I got the type r knob for a AT off of ebay. But people is talking about sports with the oem knob. What is sports and what does it do?

Probably refers to the sportronic equipped 91 Accord auto. It also has a S light in the gauge cluster to go along with the button. Most of the S lights out there blink meaning there is a TCM code waiting to be diagnosed... (not a good thing).~ Viva la Roofnips ~

...i have a 90 accord coupe with the sports button....and it makes the car shift a lil faster....NO it doesn't sound like a VTEC or anything close to it......you have to have one loud ass muffler for it to sound like a vtec....but if you start the auto from 1st and work you way to D4......with your loud pipe...than...YES your car will sound like VTEC....trust me i tired it before.......and bet a cb7 with a h23....STICK at that......but don't use the sport button alot.......its best for you to leave it off........it really doesn't make a difference in the performance.........leaving it off gives the car extra time to shift...putting it on doesn'tComment

lmao. dats funny.
anway, the shifting from 1st-4th thing on an auto does give a little better acceleration. ive tried it b4. but u hav 2 shift at the right time, kinda like a stick. i fu shift at the wron time, ull b shifting where ur power drops off on the RPM range.Comment

The only real reason to manual shift an auto is if something significant has changed.
For instance. My car pulls to 6700, but the TCU won't shift higher than 6200. If I really need that last 500RPMs I have to get it manually.
Even then in most cases it is still pointless.Comment

you got an auto so deal with it.....i know i do.................so his answer is NO PUTTING IT ON SPORTS MODE DOESN"T MAKE A DIFFERENCE ONLY ON THE RPMS.........NO THE SPORTS BUTTON DOESN"T MAKE THE CAR SOUND LIKE VTEC....ONLY IF YOU GOT A VTEC AUTO........AND YES THE CAR SOUNDS LIKE A VTEC WHEN YOU AUTO SHIFT AND DOWN AUTO SHIFT and if you got a lous ass muffler............

Ride in an H22 with a stock P13 and changeover point. You will know it when you hear VTEC. It is kinda like the secondaries on a 4 barrel opening up.Comment
