Tune issue - power killed when hitting 2nd gear

[Dusten]

No different, why would it be different? You keep your RPM in the same area that you would want as you would with a manual. I think it lessens brake pad wear too since you engine brake a bit more similar to having a manual. I got like 9.5 mpg on my manual 630 rwhp cts-v on e60 and I get about 11.5 on e85 on my 2018 mustang, 15.7 on 93 octane all with lots of spirited driving and WOT 7500+ pulls etc.

I also got around 15 mpg on my manual 93 octane tuned 2011 mustang gt. I got 17 mpg on my auto 1999 maxima that didnt have paddle shifters (back in like 2003-2007), 12 mpg on my auto 93 octane tuned 2011 6500 lb fx4 f150. Just depends on how you drive and I mainly drive for fun.

I suppose its more like 85% of the time im paddle shifting, its whenever I am driving for fun and the weather is good. In traffic or bad weather I usually wont bother.

Lessening break pad wear by increasing wear on the clutches and steels. Sounds good.

Not really, its engine braking like a manual not extra shifting although there are more gears so there is a bit more than with a manual I suppose.. Its actually less shifting than automatic mode would be and similar to a manual but with more gears, less chance of error in clutch release and engagement its always perfect...

PBD seems to have fixed my issue. IDK what they changed but this thing rips now and doesnt kill power hitting 2nd any more. Shifting is good too and appropriate for the different modes so, I am happy.

Any time there is a gear change the clutches and still slip as the gear engages.

same with automatic mode, and manual cars too....

Its not like the autos dont automatically rev match, they do rev match. The 2019+ manuals also auto rev match now.

In auto mode the car skips gears.

And I wouldn't downshift a manual to save my brakes. I can swap pads in a few minutes. A clutch, little more involved

Yea it skips gears to way too high of a gear then has to change gears again when you get back on the throttle, so its a total moot point and actually ends up being more shifting especially if your throttle input is slow and smooth. Depends on the situation though maybe on an actual racetrack the trackmode would be acceptable but if you are low throttle for too long it will go too high on the gears.

PBD seems to have fixed it, havent been to replicate the issue on this latest revision and I am happy with the performance and settings.
