enginph Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 I was checking FSM and found stock downshift points. According to the manual 2-1 down shift for 2.3 should occur not above 19-22mph with the exception of L+hold which it can shift to 1st at 28-31 mph. So if you wanna shift down to 1, which i need at times, use L+hold. For 2.5, shift point is around 27-30 mph for L+hold and 23-26mph for all others. Oh and i tried to shift from L to D with hold last night, which should give a 1-3 shift. You think 1-2 shift is harsh? Then try 1-3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 so your downshifting into 1st 28-31mph? sounds piss high, infact I would double check, I wouldn't downshift into 1st above 10-15mph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginph Posted October 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 I didnt try 30mph. At 1st you can go to 40 mph before the red line, for a quick 30-40 you may wanna shift down to 1st. What i need is a downshift at 25-30ish at times. The 2-1 downshift at 20 is what i like the most in milly. Last time i did, the friend asked me if the car is really auto.

///BHRpowered Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 Sure about that? I swear first redlines around 25ish or less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latinopikachu Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 i would dare not push it past 15mph for any length of time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 I'm 90% sure that you would be at redline already, not to mention a violent downshift Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginph Posted October 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 I'm 90% sure that you would be at redline already, not to mention a violent downshift Watch: shifts at exactly 40mph. Drive the darm car once in a while will you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveSter Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 When I can I drive it like a manual, I use hold and go through the gears and shift when I want to and when I need to. I like the way the 2.5 tranny behaves better, it would always downshift when needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ing-schu@online.no Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 The 2,5 will produce around 40mph in 1st without hold. With hold 50 indicated should be within reach if redlining, but the upshift is horrible. Not recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 I still wouldn't go over 30 in 1st, and I wouldn't downshift anycar to near redline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ing-schu@online.no Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 That makes sense, granted you have to drive the car to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latinopikachu Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 i tried shifting manually, 1-2-3, i don't like it, ordinarily i drive quite hard but it makes me think i'm going to break something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveSter Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Give the milly some credit, it wont break if you maintain it right, the MCE has to get let loose sometimes. Sometimes the wont downshift or it will shift to 2nd too quickly and it pisses me off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes the wont downshift or it will shift to 2nd too quickly and it pisses me off. If you put it in L with hold and accelerate then take your foot off the gas you will see why it has to shift so quickly. I do wish it would wait just a second longer though.

///BHRpowered Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 its not a sportronic transmission, if your going to shift it like a poser you need to change the fluid twice as often and lat, whats this about driving your mutant hard huh? the MCE is a solid engine, and other then a s/c here nad there (mostly lack of owner maintaince) I have yet to see a single 2.3 blow a major part, unlike the 2.5 in the millenia which is riddled with failures are very low mileage, probably 20% of the 2.5's on ebay are blown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latinopikachu Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 a $400 serpetine tensioner is what im conerned about. it's got 120k and i don't want to be whaling on it all the time, i don't have a large repair budget to be fixing shit that breaks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

///BHRpowered Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 shifts at like 38, and thats at redline, so if you downshift you'll be near redline now won't you. and it would be a hard downshift, keep 1st gear for sub 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at 30 mph it should rev around 4500, which is totally ok. It should match the revs before shifting, electronic tranny... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
