Will auto trans get 2nd gear rubber
I'm still trying to take it easy on my car and have less than 1000 miles, so I haven't really opened it up too hard yet. I've noticed the trans may shift faster in Sport mode, but not much firmer than Tour. Will the auto trans get 2nd gear rubber under heavy throttle?

It grips nicely in all gears surprisingly due to the tires with or without traction ;)

I would hope so, my SS chirped 3rd with a tune.

I guess I'll have to wait until the 1500 mile mark to find out. Surely another forum member has run theirs hard enough to find out.

mine doesn't...shifts hard and quick though

The problem is if you let the trans shift itself, you are starting in 2nd and shifting into 3rd. To go from 1st to 2nd, you need to use tap shift and first is pretty much useless. |
Mine will :rolleyes:

i've launched hard and gone 0-120 mph. no real chirp. the computer pulls power so u don't put it in a ditch.
I was on the highway Sunday and punched it at about 60mph. The tranny downshifted, the supercharger got spooled up and started screaming! The traction control lights shot up for a few seconds. Thats power... breaking the tires loose at 60+ |

Trans. goes to first gear any time except when in Tap Shift mode.
While using the Tap Shift feature, accelerationthe vehicle will have firmer, quicker shifting for increased performance. The driver may use this for sport driving or when climbing or descending hills, to stay in gear longer, or to downshift for more power or engine braking. The transmission will only allow you to shift into gears appropriate for the vehicle speed and engine revolutions per minute (rpm). The transmission will not automatically shift to the next higher gear if the engine rpm is too high. If shifting is prevented for any reason, the message SHIFT DENIED will appear in the DIC, indicating that the transmission has not shifted gears. While in the Tap Shift mode, the transmission will not automatically downshift on hard When coasting to a stop, the Shift controls.V6 transmission will automatically downshift to 1 (First) gear, and the V8 transmission will automatically downshift to 2 (Second) gear. A 1 (First) gear start can be selected using the Tap Shift controls on V8 models. When accelerating from a stop, the transmissions will hold these gears until the driver manually selects higher gears using the Tap |

The only time the trans will start out in 1st by itself, is on a cold start and putting it into a forward gear for the first time. |
So, i guess the car doesn't feel as quick from a stop because I've never used first gear after the first shift after starting the car. It won't get rubber in second gear because it is really third. I wonder if a tune can correct this. To drag race, would I have to put in manual mode using the gear selector, manually downshift to first at a stop, and then shift to drive after taking off to let the trans shift itself?
