on kickdown it will only shift to gears that would be below 7000rpm, that can be 2 or even 3 gears. the owners manual suplied with the 4g lude does mention these inbetween gears but i cant remember what it says, the only bit i remember is a mention of a sports sequencial box and the torque converter, i cant find the book now. what im wondering is has anyone hacked into the controller for the auto?

the reason i ask is 2 days ago i was building a spreadsheet for all the lude boxes to compare the lenght of time each box stays in vtec, all manual boxes fall out of vtec between shifts in 1,2 and 3 but stay in vtec between 3, 4 and 5, some only between 4 and 5, the auto will fallsout in all gears but are longer gears, so in total the time spent in vtec was almost the same, but if i can persuade the auto to use these inbetween gears then it could in theory go from around 20mph upwards without leaving vtec

i was also contemplating the idea of switching my shifter to a flappy paddle on the steering wheel but first i need to know if its possible to change the auto ecu in any way
