Ummmmm... Sorry, but this could be a stupid question - Why would you want to do this?

[The1]

um put it in 1st? lol

Valve bouncing does nothing u actually loose power, so if it ls because I'll get 800 or so more rpm in racing or what ever you'll be making a lot of noise going no where any quicker and doing damage so just stick to 5 or so grand, because in a couple of months well get a help my cars fudged thread lol

[fonzo]

lol id say hes doin a burnout and gettin halfway threw the burnout and its changing gears

[fonzo]

but who knows i found it dangerious. one day i was stuck in a sticky situation in the wet which ididnt casue . i needed to boot it and have power ready...if i was tryin to slalom threw 4 wrecked cars and i hit second it wouldnt of gone to plan.

It can be set not to shift up in the memcal chip.I adjusted the auto trans settings on my chip so it doesnt change up by itself when first is manually selected.Its the only auto Ive seen that does this.Usually if you select 1st gear,they wont change up to second unless you manually shift it up.Having it shifting up by itself is a prick of an idea I reckon.If you select first gear,you want first gear,not second gear.

Yeah, because that happens every day, doesnt it?

If u put it in 1st it won't shift up , the gear pins is one spot if it was to change it would mean that pins ####ed and it won't stay in any gear

These auto transmissions will shift up to second gear by themselves if you rev it just into the redline, even though first gear is selected.

[VR_Acclaim]

Mine won't even on the redline during skids

[Brett_jjj]

Rev it up into the redline enough and it will.They will all do it,I think its some safety thing.

We'll there u go, mine with abs spins the wheels in 2nd to

Maaaaaaad drifter stylez y0!



but seriously, look for a thread here that shows you how to manualize your gearbox electronically, shouldnt have a problem with it changing gear by itself ....

[Davidcoolaye]

If all else fails get a VN transmission... or a auto vn's computer! I've been told no matter how much you rev them, if you've manually selected first gear they wont budge off it.

[Brett_jjj]

The auto transmissions in the VN/VP are not controlled by computer.The first fully computer controlled transmission was in the VR.

A VN owner probably told you that, just because his car is so hektik uleh. A VN auto wouldnt bolt into a VR straight up, also the computer doesnt control the auto in a VN.

We'll there u go, mine with abs spins the wheels in 2nd to

my VS does too but then ur doin less than 40/w/e and if u havent manually shifted into 2nd it will just kick back down into first :S man id love to hold the limiter in my VS in 1st....got some stockos i wanna burn

[soop]

we're talking about auto v6's yeah?

Some dreamers here LOL!

[Vee-ard]

I love threads like this, actually... not really.

You just know that the OP is gonna be back in here 2 weeks later with a thread along the lines of "TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS! HELP" After he finds out how to hold it on the limiter.

And then you know every single post is going to be:

"Fit a 2nd hand one from reckerz mate onli $160 bycks"
or:
"The only thing to do is reco for $2000 bucks, 2nd hand one will last you 3 months if that"

THEN he'll be back in here after sourcing some dodgy auto from the wreckers asking us if 7HDD bolts up to 4HDD or not.

Not all auto V6's are slow

[soop]

Yes, yes they are .

[Thomas1]

Well I have an auto V6 and I wouldn't call it slow

[dirt drifter]

i was told when i had a stage 2 transgo shift kit put in my vr ss a few years ago that the box will be in whatever gear the shifter tells it to be in regardless of revs or speed. wether thats true or not i dunno because i never tried to hold it on the limiter

[Vee-ard]

Well I have an auto V6 and I wouldn't call it slow

I think he's aware, and it is slow by comparison to most modded V8's.

for example a manual equivalent of your car is gonna be 20% faster already, because it doesnt have the powertrain power loss an auto does.
He's badmouthing all V6's and you're taking the bait.
