And we may not be able to chirp 3rd, I was just using that as an example from what the LX cars do with a similar type system. I'm sure they have different gear ratios than we do.

Good thing I have an SRT8 3.06 diff gear to install shortly!

NICE!

Standing by for the next update.

You have been working hard on this for awhile now and it looks like finally seeing some fruit. To me, this is pretty exciting especially if it will allow a higher number gear set to be installed in the differential and taught to play nice.
Thanks for posting and spending time on the updates.

Yeah very nice and thanks for pursuing this for the whole community. There is major room for improvement in this area on our cars and just that teaser video alone is enough to see what 'could' be.

Great work brother. I knew you would get it done! One thing I think would be worth talking to the guy from ZA about would be throtttle matched downshifts. Seems like with this living on the correct CAN lines, we should be able to send the bits necessary to have the throttle blipped on downshifts. I think that would complete the package. The great thing about this vs a Valvebody mod, is the upshifts and downshifts are independant and you can fully control depending on your tastes.

chiromikey

getting interesting! i wonder if will this be compatible for all years since the can bus was changed?

Shifter

Could you elaborate more on which years you are refering to?

chiromikey

it's been a long time since i was really into this stuff but the can bus was changed at end of '03 or '04.

Shifter

Which can bus do you mean? I dont remember that, I"ll have to go back into my books and research.

chiromikey

sorry, it's been far too long since i was really into modding my e so you'll probably have to tell me after you check into it!

Shifter

bump-- its coming along.

Cool!

So is that your car being used as the test mule?

Shifter

Yup that's mine.

Hotrod-Realtor

Wow, it really hits second hard. Me likey.

chiromikey

any release date estimates?

Dang my car with a modded valve body and tcu tune doesn't do that lol. I thought it was gonna chirp 2nd after I got the valve body done but no dice. I am thinking that could get a little annoying though since it seemed to be chirping 2nd still when you weren't even doing a wide open pull.

That's awesome on WOT! I am a little concerned though in the video I saw a few part throttle accels and it is even breaking the tires loose at mid tach. Are there varying degrees of the shift engagement they can program? There are times where I want my beast to be a Mercedes and be comfy and quiet (old fart).

Ok enough c.ock teasing...get me one already!

kustom2k1

**** man that thing RIPS second gear! How long before we can have some of that?

GT-ER

While this is awesome, I'd be more afraid of breaking axles, engine mounts and tranny parts than what I'm going to gain with this. After the EC update, my tranny shifts pretty quick although it doesn't bark the tires obviously, the bog between shifts is barely noticeable ( although still there ). How much quicker do you think the car would be with this and how much damage do you think this will cause in the long run?

I'll tell you what though, I'd take one just because it opens up more options...lol.

Looks good It would be great though if it was on a switch or used the factory s/c/m switch to switch from a "normal" shift to a "fun" shift though. My car has a built trans and valve body and unsuspecting riders some times ask whats wrong with my transmission. Its hard to explain that my Mercedes has a race trans

i'm in for one.

Thanks- advise taken I think you guys will be happy when its done. To address some concerns, it will probably have different modes you can preset and select for different levels of firmness. ie, wife setting, cruiser setting and pissed off setting. Also you will be able to tailor it for each gear change. ie, maybe you want 1-2 100%, but 2-3 80% etc also throttle reactive.
