1st gear tiptronic delete

Are there any DIYs or does anyone know if there is a way to stop the transmission from shifting in and out of 1st gear by itself, and in stead be totally reliant on the driver? Thanks in advance

Been discussed many times before. No there is no way to do it. It would require reprogramming the PCM which no one has been able to do.
The 99TL does not have this feature and I love it.

the TL-p when in either mode, automatically shifts between 1-2 gears. Does your TL-S not do this?

When in the 1 position it will not shift out of gear. (TL-P and TL-S)

when he puts int the the +/- position (tip tronic) he wants for it to stay in 1st gear and not go to second automatically. or u can gate shift which u pit in int the 1 position and it wont move until u slap it over to the 2 position and so on.

the 5speed tl-p and tl-s all automatically up shift to 2nd gear when in tip tronic

Well the day's not a total waste. I learned something else about my 99TL that I didn't know about. I only occationally use the Triptronic. The other day I took off with a friend in the car and shifted into 2nd at about 5/6k. He was impressed. But doesn't the 99 shift back into 1st automatically and the 2000's and up 5 speeds don't go back into
1st gear when you stop?

i believe the 99's dont do that since there just 4 speeds, could be wrong tho

Though you can switch the + and - and the way it shifts around very easily.
