Thanks for the replies guys. i love my tip tronic it shifts fast as hell too like yours. i also installed injen cold air intake, jet performance chip and groundwires. I have a new issue just happened a couple of months, the window on the driver side goes down half way or if you close the door, i brought it to the dealer and they replace the motor but after a couple of months it happened again! do you guys by any chance had a problem like that or hear from anyone? pls let me know cause i think does guys at the dealer maybe doesn't know what their doing.

sheesh. It's crawford cast plenum with z tube and JWT popcharger.

Sorry I didn't reply I have been out of town for a couple of days at my grandmothers funeral. I do not have an engine cover like the post above stated it is a crawford plenum I said that in the post where I put up the photos.....lol. Anyways I just wanted to find out if I had a grounding kit. From the other pictures it doesn't look like I do. The car must either has something done to the tranny or I am just the luckiest SOB on the planet.

need help!!! i was on my way home from work when i about to open my car from my remote it wont unlock? then it wont lock... when i use the controls inside i can hear the click but the lock wont go all the way. the worst part is when i jump in the car to leave i noticed after starting the car my radio is on but the panel is off as if the lcd is off but music is running? then my ac switch is not working but ac is on and set to 75 deg. i disconnect the battery for 15min hoping reseting the ecu will work but it did not. guys anything you know about this problem? pls let me know thanks

sorry forgot to give my model. i got an '03 coupe

I believe rev match feature on 5at is only for downshifting.

So here's what I've noticed while driving around in the few days since I skimmed this thread.

If I'm really on the pedal, the shifts are quite snappy. Just taking it easy in traffic the shifts are nice and smooth, but take longer. I'd have to go through and read some more info about the transmission to be certain, but I'd bet that the fluid pressure that's used to engage/disengage the different sets of planetary gears inside the transmission is directly proportional to your engine speed.

Along the lines of this conversation, does anyone else get a slightly disturbing thunk going from 2nd to 3rd when driving in manual mode?

I've also got a shudder if I'm cruising at about 40 mph then lightly start adding throttle. It's documented in a TSB, but I'm interested to see how many folks it affects.

Thunk is normal. I've had that since day 1 and a ton of others have it too. Its a characteristic of the tranny...some have it and some don't. Never caused any problems and our tranny is considered pretty robust. If you shift after 3.5k, the thunk goes away (usually).

You drive an 06 though..... Mine is an 03. I had just heard a lot of people complaining about there shifting being so slow on the 03's that they would always hit the red line and had to shift way early. Mine is very snappy and shifts almost instantly. I should have specified that I was wondering about other 03 5AT's. I think I am going to try and make a video and post it so people can see what I mean by how fast it shifts. Its funny how a couple post tried to Hijack the thread and no one responded to them...LOL

This might be a stupid question but what's the benefit of using the manual mode for an AT? When you're racing, doesn't leaving it in regular gear give it perfect shifting (max rpm with no redline)?

no the ecu programs itself to match your normal driving. unless you're flooring it everywhere, auto wont do much for you. usually the ecu will shift at lower rpm's in an effort to give better gas mileage. i drive pretty hard in manumatic all the time because im able to really redline it.

Hey guys!!! got another problem with my 03G coupe, couple of week ago the dealership change my throttle body change cause my car wont start? but i notice after that my coupe run so slow!!! i timed it last night 0-60 in 7.0sec and it doesn't burn tire? im going back to the dealer after work, any suggestions? aside from blowing my car? LOL!!! i do appriciate it guys ill go back and check the board later after work. all the best G Rules!!!!

stop ******* your car out, bro, lol.

Shifting is crappy on mine. If i shift right around the 6400-6600RPM I go right into 7000 RPM. Here is a 0-60 I found *somewhere*; obviously done on an abandoned track in the Yukon which I saved for you guys (don't mind the crappy cellphone video with horrible audio in the background):

0-60

I would say probably around 5.9-6.5 seconds letting gas off 2nd gear. At night time it (well in the Yukon you can have really cold nights ) produced a lower one definately in the lower 6 second and possibly 5 second range; but at around 12-15 C temp.

Car is stock so 7 seconds on one with mods seems a bit wierd.
