TipTronic Box programing
Hi All, I have C2S TipTronic, which I am more than pleased with, given I have always had manual cars.
Can some one enlighten me as to the gear change sequence, as there appears to be a hesitation as the gear engages and torque converter locks when in manual mode. Is this something the computer does or is it the internal box sequencing? or is it a problem? Any thoughts |

#2. Always drive it in manual mode. #3. Here are some thoughts on shifting manually and matching revs on downshifts: regarding shifting up and down and matching revs. Start by paying attention to the lag time between when you shift and when the torque converter locks up the gear. This is the time that you have to blip the gas to get the revs up while the car is "between gears" - That space between when you shift and when you are solidly in the next gear is the time that if you blip the gas, the revs will rise enough so that your downshift does not act like a compression break, rather it keeps your speed constant and your revs up in the power band. I smooth out upshifts by easing my foot off the gas during that same space in the up shift. This takes the pressure off the transmission because I am not applying gas while the transmission is locking up the next gear. I shift up, while easing off the gas, I wait for the torque converter to lock up and then I am back on the gas. Just like driving a 6 speed, waiting for the torque converter is like waiting to let the clutch out before hammering the gas. #4: a search on Tip, Tiptronic or this thread will be of interest to you: http://forums.rennlist.com/rennforum...d.php?t=199048 Tips on Tips, now with Pics (and the end of the story) - Rennlist Discussion Forums
