When I blew out my 4th in my 5spd I still had 5 more gears including reverse, blow a gear in a automatic and U aint really going nowhere. As for auto to 6spd on a 00, I'm doing one next weekend for a .org member- will tell ya how it goes and will have pictures.

Yeah dude, but Acura = Honda...

They both have crappy auto trannys. It's a fact (unfortunately proven time and time again by the TL and Accord owners).

And it's hard to chill out with all the utter stupidity from some of the posts and questions lately. Sometimes I vent in directions not intended...this being one of them. I shall attempt to let the water roll off my back next time.

All good.

Very impressive. You managed to insult auto owners (probably more than half the people on the org) and the handicapped by stringing together 2 short sentences with only a small amount of errors.

you must be very especial.

Get real or get beat by people who know how to drive.

If it shifts quicker letting off the gas, which most autos do when driven this way, good for them at the track.

If one does end up going bad WTF do you think the 60K warranty is for, and most of the people posting in this thread wouldn't take their car to the dealer for a tranny swap out of warranty anyway.

How much more can we squeeze out of this thread before it get buried???...

So, to sum it up:
manually shift buys your .3-.4 sec on 1/4
may, or may not chew up your tranny
Honda engines suck nuts
Honda trannies are

Quicksilver will try to control is temper and flame the correct nay sayers,
[edit]Scopium must learn proper English...
And....

it doesn't chew your transmission, its not like your forcing the transmission to abruptly select a gear, its still electronically controlled like in 'D' your just holding the gear longer at WOT, I dont' see why people are even arguing over this and why someone has to call everyone ignorant when you yourself hasn't posted any techical data.

btw, whats ignorant and useless about this?

Quote:

[/b]Well, it actually is a good discovery, especially for those who want to get better times down the 1/4mile with an automatic.

On a VQ-K maxima, the transmission upshifts at 6K rpms in 'D' at WOT. Peak HP is made at 6,400rpms so the shift is no where near peak HP. If you upshift manually (1-2-D selector) at redline, the revs will drop to 4,300rpms vs. 4,000rpms if you keep it in 'D' at WOT. This way the car will reach peak HP, take some advantage of gearing, and upshift into a high powerband.

If you do the trick that the thread start tried (let off the gas, punch it after the shift it manually 'i think') you'll land back around 5,300rpms, above VI switchover (5K) which is where the VQ-K makes the most of its power.

I've manuall shifted my Maxima when going WOT most of the time in my 2K for all its 80K+ miles and the transmission has treated me well and is safe. I've even done 1st gear downshifts above 35mph and perfected it to upshift into '2' quick enough without hitting the rev limiter. I've *never* tried this lifting off the throttle method though so I wouldn't know if that effects the transmission in anyway.

J30 and J32A Honda engines are actually pretty good, its a toss up between a 01 CL-S J32A engine and VQ30DE-K for me.... trannys suck on Acuras, their engines are pretty much bullet proof for reliablity when stock- can't compare moded ones never really seen a CL-S or TL-S with more than intake, headers, pulleys and exhaust on it- and even with a 5 speed auto I tend to think they would be a pretty good match for a moded 3.5L Auto Maxima.
