i should be receiving my 03 types in about 2-3 weeks. I wanted to know how to use the sportshift. Thanks for any help!

 

Up to upshift, back to downshift. No control over the 1-2 shift either way. If trying to shift at redline, shift before redline or you'll hit the fuel cutoff. Don't let you foot off the gas during the shift.

 

thanks ,any more details i should know?

 

How much manual transsmission experience do you have?

 

I thought the '03s didn't come with sportshift. I have a '03 CLP, with sportshift, but I thought the '03 CLS only came in 6-spd form.
I could be wrong though, I'm a new owner.

Only 2700 Type S's are 6 speed. The rest are auto.

 

P

R + <-------- this is to upshift.
N
D5
D4 _ <-------- this is to downshift.
D3
1-2


good luck.

 

i always use ss mode when i go for race..and i push my engine rpm all the way to 6500 rpm and then upshift...mostly i only use d3 and d4 during race...d5 is for fuel efficiency..

 

i dont have too much manual experience, but could get around in one. i aint in all that racing stuff.

 

Good illustration but it's reversed. The + and - should be on the other side :P

 

I usually let off the gas when i switch gears so u get that pause more like a true manual. nothin wrong wit that right?

 

Don't do it. It confuses the computer and results in an akward shift.

 

look again, silverknight.
