20 inch aluminum polish, Used M mode let it shift by it self. Shifted at 5700 to 5800 not sure but it did shift into 4th. It does pull more rpms in M mode not using the peddle shifters.

Yeah, 3rd to 4th gear shift is around 97 -99 mph or so. So I really don't think a full 1/4 mile pass in 3rd gear is possible (with stock cam, etc).

And the faster the run (trap speed), the earlier its going to shift into 4th. So that's a good sign if your car is shifting into 4th gear with a decent amount of track left before the 1/4 mile mark.

Is that bad for the car to be in Manual Mode and letting it shift by itself? And my brother has a Duramax with TapShift and it won't shift by itself, it will just rev it in the gear you're sitting in. I tried Manual Mode once but I actually used the peddles lol.

Not at all the system the Allison transmission uses is differant than the system in the Camaro. The Allison is made to hold the gears for pulling heavy loads.

The Hydra-Matic 6L80 automatic in the Camaro offers really 3 differant transmissions built in to one. You have the "D" setting which of course is just drive. The second setting is if you push the shifter to the right which will read as the "M" mode. That will give you (PAS) or Perfomance Algorithm Shifting, which means the cars computer will read driving hadits and throttle input and adjust the shift points acccordingly. Then lastly there is the tap shifting.

I hope this helps.

So for Drag/Street Racing, it's best to have the Car in Manual Mode with Competitive Mode on? I raced a '02 GT the other night in Drive, with the normal startup mode... Had him pretty bad

I would stay away from "manual mode" for drag racing. The best mode would be M (Sport mode - with TC off) where the computer does the shifting. That way you don't have to be constantly looking at the tach to make sure you don't mess up a shift.

Manual mode = tap shift mode

The different modes
1. D (regular drive)
2. M (Sport mode)
3. M (manual/tap shift mode)

So is he talking about Manual Mode or Sport Mode when he described his technique? That shit got me confused.

See his quote above, M (sport mode...ie. no paddle shifting).

Ok so sport mode is when you let manual mode shift by itself?

Looks like we're both looking for the same answers!! Now that the car is broken in, its time to run her!!

jtellez · 09-20-2009, 10:31 AM

What type of break-in did you have?

Shifter in these positions
D - Regular Drive
M- Sport Mode (computer does shifting)
When in Sport Mode, if you touch the paddle shifters it switches to
manual mode.
M- Manual Mode (tap shifters in use) - while in manual mode, the DIC will indicate what gear the transmission is in.

To return to M (Sport Mode- computer does the shifting), you must move the shifter back up to D and then back down to M.

Manual mode is when you "manually" shift gears with the tap shifts. You get to manual mode by first being in "sport mode" and you hit the tap shift up or down.
