Kosij Donating Members 2,045 Member For: 13y 6m 2d Gender: Male Posted 07/10/14 12:05 AM Share Posted 07/10/14 12:05 AM I just feel in performance mode once you take over it should all be about what you want, as in down and up shifting.Would be safer to stay in a gear rather then kicking back and snapping something, hence why I wondered if it could be tuned out. For me I don't have a worry in the world. Th400 = fully manualized lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
