I've got a couple of questions for those of you who have installed a UDP in a 5th Gen 5-speed. First, did your engine braking improve? Second, did installing the UDP help to reduce the "hung throttle" effect between shifts?

 

Engine braking sucked before and it still sucks now. I need to step on the brakes like "a mile" before I come close to the car in front of me on the freeway. 5th gens can't compare to 4th gens in engine braking.

 

Huge amount of difference in power. No problems on braking
still very good. Have you upgraded your TCM?

You've got an A/T Kev. I'm mostly interested in finding out if the UDP has any effect on the hung throttle condition. For all I know, reducing the weight on the crankshaft might actually make the condition worse.

 

Really? I feel no engine braking difference at all. The car still flies when I take my foot of the accelerator.

Yup, I got the newest TCM.


I don't feel any difference, so My Service Engine Soon light is still on, but I doubt that makes a difference.

 

Kev, if your tranny is in 4th gear, you will not get any engine brakig at all. Once it has shifted into 4th, it takes a while for it to downshift.....no engine braking as a consequence

 

The engine revs up alot quicker than it did. The tranny
shifts alot quicker due to the updated tcm and pulley.

 

Thanks guys. But I'm still waiting for someone to respond who has a 5-speed and a UDP.

Anybody?

 

Stop and go traffic in the Bay Area, so sometimes I don't get a chance to go into 4th. It still cruises like there's no tomorrow.

 

hmmm.... that is true....I experience the same thing in stop and go traffic....

 

Do you mean to tell me that not one single 5th Gen 5-speed owner has installed a UDP yet? What's up with that?
