Hey guys....I'm still learning the ropes of my 2001 CL (The damn dealer still hasn't sent me my book yet).

I understand that the sportshift system will not let you over-rev the engine, but I have noticed that my car shifts EXTREMELY quickly from 1st to 2cd, not giving me time to even THINK about shifting. It shifts around 2000 rpm I guess. Does anyone else experience this? or am I just being ignorant because I haven't read my book yet?

Thanks guys.

 

in SS you CAN"T control the 1-2 shift...

 

give it more gas or floor it and it'll change from 1st to 2nd at around 5500-6000 rpm.

 

The shift point from first to second is determined by the amount of throttle given. The more gas you give, the later the shift will come; if you go WOT straight off the line, and don't let up off the gas, the shift will happen at red-line.

Yeah, what he said

In addition, you'll notice that if you're in a gear, say 4th, then stop at a light, it will downshift to 1 automatically as you come to a stop.

You have to remember that it's a sportshift automatic, so it's still an automatic.

 

Thanks guys....ya'll da shit!
