Increase the RPM while shifting for Auto.

[VtecApprentice]

Hi People ~! i have a friend driving a Auto EK with B16A. Vtec only engage during high RPM. But since my friendZ was a Auto . . The transmission won't drag the RPM till more den 5500. Its abit waste of 'Vtec' if it opens only at 4500 RPM. So i was wondering is there any way to made the Auto transmission to shift at higher RPM ? ? ? ?

I know that this can be done in V8 motors by adjusting a spring.

Swap to a manual....simple.

two options go to www.levelten.com and buy an electronic shift kit to control your shifting like a manual or floor it. I have an auto and if I have the pedal to the floor it doesn't shift till the red line.

Same here, you sorta can control the shifting that way. Hold the pedal down till you wanna shift, let up on it, let it shift, then mash down for the next gear.

automatics shift depending on how much the throttle is open or if you are on in incline right?

so if he wants vtec, press the gas a little harder?

but the best thing to do, is to swap the tranny, IMO

hMmM . . . but because i myself had drive an Auto EG with the 1.6 SOHC Vtec engine (not sure D16 ? ? ? ? ) I did Floor the Accl hard . . and it did do some draging . . but it still up gear at 5500K RPM maximum . . . issit that 5500K is the max RPM for the 1.6 SOHC Vtec ? ? ? ?

they arent suppose to shift that early at WOT.

try manually shifting it at the redline or right before. will it go that far then?

Erm . . how to manually shift it ? ? ? The Auto shift only got :
P = Parking
N = Neutral
R = Reverse
D4 = Drive 4
D3 = Drive 3
2 = i believe is gear 2
1 = i believe is gear 1

Erm . . . got to step on the brake to shift it . . . so how am i gonna do manual shifting ? ? ??

Auto trannies will allow you to start off in the lowest gear and bump up one at a time without hitting the brake or lifting off the throttle, you just can't downshift very easily in the same manner.

you only have to step on the brake to shift in or out of P, or in and out of R.

if you start at 1, you can manually shift up to D, without the brake. same with going from D-1

question: In my 89 civic LX if I manual shift by starting out in 2 and shifting up to D3 then D4 would I damage my transmission?
