So I put my TSX in the shop the other day for some routine maintenance and they gave me a loaner TSX to tool around in until the work was done. Of course I pushed it hard the moment I got behind the wheel. One thing really struck me as peculiar though...

I was driving on the highway and put the car in the Sportshift mode so I could really kick it up a notch (best you can do with auto) and I stayed in 2nd gear way past what I thought the rpm limit was for the Sportshift mode. I thought it automatically shifted to 3rd at 6000 rpms?!?!?! Finally for fear of destroying the transmission I put it in gear myself.

Did they change somthing in between models? Does the driver have more control in the 05 TSX? BTW XM is really cool

Not that I know of.........I have to shift each gear in the sportshift mode.

Type X

i can redline every gear in sportshift mode

onlything i CANT do is drop it down to a low gear at a high speed

No. Neither the 04 or 05 shifts for you in any gear at any RPM. You can bounce of redline to your hearts content.

You can hit redline in any gear with the sportshift. The only thing it'll do is bounce off the revlimiter past the redline.

If you can't drive the AT you should go back to the MT before you hurt something.
