c32 speedshift question
i noticed you can downshift the car pretty much whenever you like, however the car upshifts pretty much whenever it feels like it. is there any way to control upshifts (short shift)?

In the 2002 model, you can only narrow the number of gears available and the shift points are recalculated on the fly, depending on the setting. In other words, when you put it to 3, you are not shifting into 3rd. You are only making 3 gears available to the computer and that in turn changes the shift points. Under extreme conditions, the computer will override your settings.

Also, are there aftermarket TCU programs that can lock the gears? (eg, not shifting at redline like the C55)? I've checked the dealership for TCU updates and there are none. Can I specifically request '03+ TCU software from the dealership?
thanks,
Bryan

the "m-shift-mode" from "german32er" is awesome.
You can hold the gear as long as you want, the engine goes into the rev limiter. And you can upshift everytime, the only condition you have, is a "minimum rev", to upshift.
And if you going under this minimum rev, the car shifts down from itself.
