I couldn't change from 3rd to 4th at WOT, it just redlined 3rd. Edited 12/11/13 06:01 AM by -SteveR- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think there were a few good guesses. Edited 12/11/13 10:07 PM by LU82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can be heard as a "fart" noise between shifts when at wot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trans Truncation (as mentioned above) reduces spark on a gearshift to reduce torque.I personally have played with a car that had a ZF that was starting to slip on shift. Retuned with the Torque Module turned on and trans truncation adjusted the car shifts nicely under WOT conditions.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
