Dude, calm down and read all the posts...

I think there was the answer right in the second post of the thread... but never mind, we all get carried away sometimes... laugh.gif:

AND... NO, the engine won't go OVER the redline, not even a tiny little, it will only go farther in the rpm range, like if the std program is set to upshift at 3500 rpm's with that option activated it will change at 6000 maybe 6500 rpms.
The same as when you put your shifter in "L" or first, and floor it, it won't go over the redline, even if you have selected L it WILL upshift into second gear at the safety limit just before the redline.

 

ok sorry..Im just trying to understand this...so youre saying that if Im driving in overdrive on the highway trying to get a top speed and the needle reaches the red zone it wont blow?

 

If you haven't messed with your ECU, wiring, electronics of your car, there's almost NOTHING you can do in normal or spirited driving that will make your engine blow.
I think the only thing that could do it blow (kids: please DO NOT try this at home laugh.gif: ) is if you are at WOT (Wide Open Throttle) at high speed with engine just on the redline and suddenly quick shift into neutral WITHOUT taking your right foot off the gas pedal, but that would be really a stupid way to blow anything.
So, be happy, your engine won't just blow.

 

well it will never go past redline, ok.
basically unless your racing or wanting to accelerate really fast or trying to max it out, etc, leave the ECT on normal instead of power.

thanks zman, i am not 100% knowledgable about that button..i saw a graph somewhere (that someone posted when I asked this question many months ago when i first bought my car) where the car produces more power in higher rpms, and it allows the shift point to be set higher--basically it shifts at the very LAST second i suppose with ect on power.


are you sure about that? i think if its in L you can redline it

 

thanks guys..that pretty much summed it up for me...I just have one more quick question....my tranny...once in a while...when my engine is cold..Ill be driving at about 30mph...and itll slip...as if I put it in neutral...and then put it back in drive...it doesnt do it all the time...just here and there...and I have no idea what could be wrong

 

Their all lying, it's actually a cleverly disguised eject button for the passenger seat!

 

Has this been done before? *muahaha* I got an idea for tomarow, *Evil laugh* I bet i could prove you wrong, or i could just get my title underlined and capitalized and put in bold......

 

Hey Kit, you know what?
Just to volunteer to that test could earn you to bold and capitalize your title... laugh.gif:

Now, back on-topic: If an auto tranny is slipping, then you have a problem ECCustoms; you should realy never force a cold engine or tranny, and changing the oil regularly on an auto tranny is REALLY important, as much as with the engine.
I hope the problem doesn't get worse, try to change your tranny fluid in the recommended intervals and check the tranny cooling lines for cloggs, damage or leaks; if fluid gets too hot, it looses some of it's characteristics to protect your internal tranny pieces.
