Who's 7AT is "kicky"

Yeah, I noticed that again tonight when I was putting around with the wife. I then tried to show here the difference between auto and sport mode. After the putting around we were doing (looking at xmas lights) it took like a second to shift after tapping the shifter. After I left her at home and ran some twisties for about 5-10 mins it was back to shifting about as fast as I could hit the stick. Much faster than if I had a manual in there.
BTW- I speed shift my Firebird with SC at the track. Most people think that is without clutch and slamming gears. In reality you drive with the gas on the floor hit the clutch and as it hits the bottom your pulling/pushing into the next gear. Here's the part most people miss: Then you side step the clutch letting the pressure pop the clutch pedal back to it's natural state much faster than you can lift your leg .... repeat

Just make sure to inspect your rubber clutch pedal bumper every once and a while or, you'll start hearing some nasty banging.

Warning this will prematurely wear out your clutch and there is grave danger of twisting/snapping input shafts on your tranny if you don't get it just right.

Hence this is why I'm liking the S7 tranny so much! It protects the tranny with fast progressive engagements and then it locks up. Nice .....

Enjoy the ride.
