Fuel economy suffers and always seems to be in a lower gear than it needs to be. I am hoping one day before I die that HP TUners works out the software for the ZF.

I have my tune files in a comment on page 38 of the aus tuning thread just in case you wanted to have a look around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any case its just got the data up to 4th gear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to start gunning it off the mark at lights etc. Edited 10/04/14 02:09 AM by Phoon508 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discostig Manual mode ________________________ All day, erryday Donating Members 13,798 Member For: 17y 2m 19d Gender: Male Location: Probably above atmospheric pressure Posted 10/04/14 04:52 AM Share Posted 10/04/14 04:52 AM Keep the foot planted most of the way to encourage it to rev out gears each time. You'll need less throttle over time for the same rev out thus won't be going as fast.Like Ralph said, extended periods of enthusiastic driving! Get stuck into corners/roundabouts a bit too, in the dry anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fairly good now but seems to have plateaued at about 90% of what it was before in terms of smooth shifts. Bearable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaness8 Member 89 Member For: 15y 6m 8d Gender: Male Posted 10/04/14 12:56 PM Author Share Posted 10/04/14 12:56 PM (edited) The car revs out ok and its very eager to hang onto a gear, the gearbox is not lazy.What speed should it drop into 6th just driving normally mind you its a FG F6 so BF's and XR6's could be calibrated differently.Rang a tuner reckons that's the way the box is, even with the latest software they cant make the box change earlier on light throttle.

Light throttle low RPM shifting is to be expected really. If there was a way to lock the internal 0-200 points system at 200 maybe it would be more obnoxious but I don't know if they can do that. FYI Perf mode adds 100 to whatever your auto learned count is currently.6th gear can be selected at 72km/h manually but in D I think it prefers about 80. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
