3rd gear placement?

[viperbeatsvette]

From R4's transmission flipping guide and other tunes many people have 3rd gear way high

Do more people set up like that?

Below is how I set it compared to that way

Lol terrible quality but it was drawn on the iPhone equivalent of ms paint..

Also I cannot rotate the pic of r4's transmission so sorry for making you turn your head

 

[X3sgteX]

I vote for the red team!

 

[KaroSVTR]

Yup red is the way to go my friend.

 

[Swara]

Red, but I think he was merely suggesting an example.

 

[Maccer_42]

Red pill for me.

 

[KaroSVTR]

Have you guys ever tuned a car were the bottoms of the gears "black line" rather then going up as in the picture, actually going down?
Did you guys get what I ment? Lol

I get What you mean but nope... never Take a pic if you have one

The pic of what is to be my method is far from what I end up with. Ill take a pic of what my graph looks like as soon as I can get on my PS3, might even get a video up if i can. Mine are something like the red.

I have a couple actually that gave me much better results then The usual way we do it. Doesn't work on every car but I have about 4 cars that worked great

 

[KaroSVTR]

Can you guys guess what car this is?

 

[X3sgteX]

Acr?

 

[Swara]

I agree with X3sgte. That is an ACR.

 

[KaroSVTR]

Yup. Its my Indy tune. Is this how you got yours too X?

Lol looks pretty close. You hackin my Toónž?? Though how did you get a .981 o_O

 

[Mikeybc]

This trans got my 8.999 a while back, but now it's set to 185, way higher

 

[KaroSVTR]

I have 3 tunes for this one for Indy which top speed is 176 one for SSRX which is 185. It's the tranny I got 8.981. And the other is at 180 working on that... Lol

Ohhh. That clears things up for me, don't have an Indy tune myself, guess I should though...probably why my ACR always gets its butt kicked online lol

Lol its all in the tranny to get .981 gotcha

 

[KaroSVTR]

Yeah pretty much. As the famous JR always said "its all in the tranny bro" lol

This is a BMW M Coupe with 460HP
This is how my method looks if done the way i typed out the steps:
1. set to default

2. lower top speed to lowest setting

3. set 6th to highest

4. lower final gear until you get desired top speed (140mph for this car)

5. select top speed and move it up one then back down to lowest

6. set final gear to lowest and remember new top speed (141mph for this one)

7. reset to default again
8. lower top speed to lowest setting

9. lower final gear to the remembered top speed (141mph)

10. select top speed and move it up one then back down to lowest

11. lower final gear to lowest setting

12. set 6th gear to highest (look, back to 140mph)

13. set 5th gear to highest

14. set 4th gear to highest

15. set 1st gear to lowest

16. make 3rd gear "pretty" (which means...line it up)

See no odd out of order lines. and I did the steps they way I typed them.

 

[X3sgteX]

You remember that part in Austin powers where he's talking to that guy in the retro beetle and he goes cross eyed...

 

[r4a2g0]

I posted my pics for the transmission setting that I use. go back to page 1 and look at post 20.

 

[Mikeybc]

Your basically removing the guesswork for the starting final of the flip process in the first few steps. I still do the trial and error flip

yes I am. i just mainly wanted to show that my method if done correctly dosent give you that odd looking graph viper has in blue.
