I checked my actuator today. I just popped the hood and used the throttle cable. I am not sure the exact RPM, but it did work. A few people have gotten thier cars to chirp in the 1 > 2 shift. I never really tried, but mine has never done it.

It happens all the time, but it also depends on the street.

LIQUID_X since you're from Miami...I've been able to make it chirp in 1st..then from 1st to 2nd all the time on Bird Road, Kendall Dr & 8th street on the east side from 826. Now on the other hand I can only make it chirp in 1st on roads like Sunset Dr & Miller Dr. I know 8th Street was just repaved ...and it's where I can get the most chirp.

Have you checked your tires lately?

I was grousing about the crappy Michelins and how lousy my
traction was recently. Tires chirping all the time, you know like
when you are trying to pull away from an intersection
normally and you get the chirp, its embarrassing.

Anyway, had my car in for its 36,000km service recently and the
mechanic noted "Um, by the way did you know your front tires
are bald?"

Oops. Oh dopey me!
