motoroil Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 The tranny performance button near the shifter (on autos), I know its for performance, but what does it really do? Does it make you shift later? (allowing you to reach higher rpms?) What does it actually do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motoroil Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 overdrive... No, not the overdrive button--thats located on the actual shift lever. I'm talking about the button on the console next to the shift lever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motoroil Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 Here's a picture of the button, I labeled them-- What does that button actually do? (Other than give 'performance transmission function') Shift at higher RPMs, etc.. ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the car will shift gears at higher RPMs when in POWER mode - for passing on an uphill grade etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motoroil Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 Ah I see, thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmix Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 The button actually changes the gear ratios from a 4 speed to a 3 speed in the transmission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
