Tweaking the Shift: A very simple, zero-cost auto transmission modification.

I managed to do it on my car, Kancil 850EZi DOHC EFI last weekend...but i do it the wrong way around so my car eager to upshift instead of holding on the the revs...:retarded:

but at least the theory worked :X-:

hope u guys can apply it too...provided ur auto trans are using cables to know the throttle position like my car...

If it done correctly it will...

* The downshifts will occur more readily.
* At part-throttle the individual gears will be held to higher rpm.
* The shifts may be made more crisply.

Will update by next weekend....

why don't you downshift the gears yourself?

I do self shift the gears from time to time...its just that, would it be wonderful for the gears to change itself...its an auto ma....:X-:

*UPDATE*
I just tweak it back last night....

  1. previously the trans change to 2nd gear at 3000rpm...now it change at 4000rpm
  2. Usually when I floor the pedal, the trans take its time to downshift, the time it took to downshift is faster

if you read carefully the article that i posted earlier....u'll see at the throttle body there are to cables connected to the throttle itself...one linked to the throttle pedal and the other linked to the auto box itself... just tightened the cable linked to the gb la

as i've said earlier...dis is for non electronic controlled auto gb only maa :X-:

Hi guys,

Currently I owned a Civic SR4 with D16a7 non-vtec and none modifications. What is the temperature for the car when it is idling. Mines car hit above half of the meter as per picture before the fan kick on.
