I've never even tried mine. Too afraid to do something stupid and rip that $7,000 transmission up.

Will the transmission automatically downshift on it's own while in manual stage?

i have 51k miles on mine and only about 100 miles have been in auto.

i only drive in manual mode. also i do every downshift besides 2>1 because thats bad for the AT.

the AT will auto downshift itself in manual mode to not stall itself out.

as i put above i let it shift from 2 to 1 because thats the best for the tranny. also isometimes when coming to a stop i'll let it drop 3-2-1 on its own.

sidenote you can get a 7AT built for 1000hp for $4500 dont listen to the stealerships grossly inflated prices.

Partially this ^ (bold)


any more ddetails to the bold italics tho? 4500 is cheap af. I'm assuming it's an aftermarket tranny?

I disagree with 2->1 statement.

And Level 10 makes a transmission that will hold the power. They don't offer a flex plate though.


And the more research I do, they scare me... A LOT of horror stories.

yea i forgot to add in that along with the tranny cost you'll need to pick up a flex plate. i believe fast intentions is $850+shipping.

level10 has 2 options.

700hp - $4600
1000hp - $5600

thats without a core charge i believe so you get a whole brand new fully built tranny. i think you get like $1k off the price if you send yours in.

also every tech and person i've talked to said downshifting from 2nd to 1st isnt ideal for the AT. play all you want just let the ECU do the 2-1 drop when coming to a stop.

The transmission won't let you kill it. Shift away.

The ECM and TCM are programmed for self-preservation. You can't upshift if that would put engine RPM too low (lugging/stalling condition) and you can't downshift if that would take RPM above red-line. Several other safeguards/nannies programmed in - FSM will have details.

Yes. The 7AT will downshift on it's own, whether in A or M mode, to keep engine RPM up.
