Help!!! My tranny/computer is screwed up

mtkid · 04-01-2008, 09:44 PM

So I get in my car today and notice that when I put it in ds mode, I downshift (at 0mph) and it simply won't go down to m1. Doesn't show m1 or actually shift. I then upshift and it goes to m2 and displays m2, then m3 and so on. I then go back down and it stops at m2 (car isn't moving) and won't go to m1 and is then stuck on m2. What's the dealio?

That's how it naturally is. Don't worry, nothing is screwed up. Going to M1 is something you'll have to do on your own

I prefer starting at M2 since it's a smooth, steady start--whereas M1 is a little more aggressive and keeps you ready for launch

..well that's my opinion at least haha

I think that's the case with me too, to get to M1 you need to DIY.
