Toms Supra Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Noticed the other day when you have your auto in MANU mode its really slow to boost up. I thought something was wrong at first then I realised with if off it was back to normal!! anyone else notcied this or am I just slow lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 No, I've never noticed that. Apart from the fact that it doesn't kick down of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 yup I agree with Jake. With MANU on, the box won't kick down, and you'll be setting off in second gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toms Supra Posted April 17, 2005 Author Share Posted April 17, 2005 Yeh I know it does`nt kick down but it slow as anything to come on boost even when No.2 comes on it has a 3 second delay lol! it like everythings in slow motion! Try it I put my foot flat to the floor and it slow as anything. just drive along 20 -30 mph with MANU on and floor it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 You *are* starting it in first gear, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toms Supra Posted April 17, 2005 Author Share Posted April 17, 2005 no driving along normally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 In manual mode, L is first gear, 2 is second and D is third. Maybe you think boost is building up slowly because you're in too high gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 I love Manu but you have to drive it Manually to get the most out of it - never had any boost issues when I'm swapping on my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jspec Germany Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Tom, If you had your auto in D with MANU on, you were in 3rd gear (unless starting from a standstill, inwhich case you were in 2nd). I find MANU helpful when my wife is driving the car in the rain. Keeps her from getting sideways and wrapping it around a tree. She calls it "Her Man button". When MANU is engaged, you must shift manually, starting with L, 2, D, and O/D button if 4th gear is needed. I still don't know what ECT-i stands for however. Hope this helps.

D3xt3r Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Doesnt the MANU mode limit the box to its first three gears? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jspec Germany Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Don't know. Good question. Think I'll find out tomorrow. cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D3xt3r Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 I tried it today and it seems the OD button does nothing in Manu mode. But damm this auto box is complicated doesnt anyone has a manual for it that clears everything up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Doesnt the MANU mode limit the box to its first three gears?Pretty much, yeah, but I noticed that in MANU mode my RZ still shifts into 4th gear at 135mph unless you keep the throttle nailed to the floor.

JohnA Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 But damm this auto box is complicated doesnt anyone has a manual for it that clears everything up? Yes, it's the "owner's manual" that comes with the car mate What exactly is so complicated? In 'manual' mode you've got three gears, which you have to shift manually (unsurprisingly) L is first gear, 2 is second and D is third. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
