Sport Shift Auto question?

I have a 03 TL-S and am considering a TSX for my wife. In my TL you cant dport shift from 1st to 2nd gear, the computer does it. Does the TSX do the same thing?
Thanks for the help.

No, you have to shift it yourself. Alot better than the TL for that. The 04 TL is like the 03 TL too.

it can be done manually from 1st to 2nd, but you have to give it some gas, or it'll do it by itself.

Great..w/VTEC it helps to get the tach up into the 6's before shifting. In my TL-S when using the sport shift it shifts around 4k even though i would love it to rev a few thousand more.

No it won't, I've bounced off my rev limiter a few times to test that, there was no shift. You have to do it manually.

i'm talking about the tl.

unless you bring the stick down to the bottom where 1 is, the sportshift will always change gears by itself.

Ooops, But even in the TL, I thought there was no way around it shifting for you? Even if you gave it gas it would shift?
