The MRC map won't do that, in tiptro, you'd have to depress the kickdown for the MRC GB map to be overriden.

Might be clear for all I know. Doc? What's the answer?

Seriously, though, if I read you right you are saying that in tiptro the box *will* change down if you mash the pedal?

Correct, you have to go past kickdown otherwise it'll hold a tall gear at WOT.

So basically doing exactly what the Viper one does. That would be no good to me.

Why, do you have a club foot? I've never had it kickdown unless I wanted it to. It's not a hair-trigger, you really have to engage the 2nd step for it to kick. I've logged it, I got WOT.

Bam, you are right. WOT and 100% accel position are achieved before kick-down. At least with engine off. I may log with engine on at some point just to make sure.

I still prefer no kick-down, though. I don't want to be thinking about exactly how much pressure I am applying with my club foot in the midst of the action.

Re mrc and viper map, you must be able to ask for either or. Much prefer making the decisions myself rather than the tcu!

Like I said, never has it kicked down in tiptro unless I wanted it too. Each to their own though.

So I just tried it on the way home from the gym; 5th @ 30MPH then shoved my foot through the kick down, the gearbox promptly swapped from 5th to 1st (surprisingly smooth too), broke traction, spun up for a second, then snapped my neck as it gripped and ripped. It might be worth noting that I'm running a stage 2 TCU map but I don't think that matters.

Snapped your neck? You need to work on those muscles next session then.

I will test my car later when i take it in to work to do the arbs but i have a feeling it kicks down.
