AutoStick?
I haven't noticed much talk about it ... I am equipped with it and am kind of curious how to use it ?

RE: AutoStick?
i mess with it when I feel I want a little more control of the car.
like in advanced driving situations and maneuvering I use it. There is this one on ramp to 1N from 68 that is less that 100feet to merge from a hairpin right turn at 20MPH and I always drop to 2nd for it and hold all the gears out. I learned after a few uses that if you keep tapping up it will just go back to regular drive. |

One thing you will notice with the Autostick is it will not let you do anything stupid. Put it in 1st and punch it and it will change to 2nd about the time it red lines. Then on to 3rd gear etc.

RE: AutoStick?
One nice feature is that you cannot over-rev the engine. If you hit the redline without shifting, the trans. will automatically shift into the higher gear.

RE: AutoStick?
This is why I want the 6 speed manual.
Auto stick programing should allow you to keep it in a gear as long as you like. Rev limiter should operate to avoid overreving regardless of gear. The auto stick being smart enough not to allow a downshift when the car is moving too fast is a good feature. Upshift too quick, what should the car do? Car comes to a stop while in a gear higher than 1st, will it force it to 1st for a proper take off. My Cuda had a full manual valve body automatic, selected gear on shifter was the gear the tranny was in. Second gear starts were ok, third gear avoided to keep from burnin up tranny. |

I worked with the guy that set up the Auto stick programing when it 1st came out. He told me that it was a joke . Just one of those things to sell cars.

RE: AutoStick?
With the tune, the auto stick allows me to slow down on the gearing. I can hold any gear to 6200 rpm (was 6500 and I backed it down).
In my 2006 Vette it was a joke... In the Challenger its awesome. Best of both worlds.... |
