Auto 1-2 Shift in Sport Mode???
I recently drove a 99 TL, and when in sport shift mode it does NOT automatically shift like our 5AT's do. I really dislike the auto shift as when you are accelerating moderately (not WOT) it shifts up far too early. The only way to make it shift down to 1 if to floor it.
I am assuming that this is an "improvement" that came with our pathetic 5AT's (The TL was a 4 speed auto).
Has anyone found a way around this. It would be great to have full control over the 1-2 shift.

someone on the thread i posted about my "rsx rental" said that if u let the car go down to about 20mph, u can downshift into first and go, but somehow i dont believe that and i have heard anyone else attest to that.
my rsx rental lets me manual shift from 1-2 and i really with our cl's did as well.
gate shift i guess is the way to go, but would be annoying if your just doing that while driving and not at the track.

I was really wondering if the 1-2 shift is controlled by the ECU or if it is solenoid controlled by the transmission. If it is transmission controlled there may be a way to prevent it from auto shift up (before redline).
