Default tip chip

i have a question about the tip chip from giac... is the delay only shortened when the car is in tip mode? or does the shortened delay play part when the car is in auto?

thanx

Default Depending on what year your car is, the sift lag is greatly reduced..

I have a 98.5, and the difference was huge. Highly worth it for any tip car.

I think the newer cars (00 and 01) have slightly faster shifting compared to the older cars, but it's still nothing like the tip chip.

Default Yes, but the feel is different. In Tip mode, the shifts are fast, and firm...

in Auto mode, there is a little more 'slip' than there is in Tip mode, and it still short shifts if you are just crusing.

does it damage the tranny at all or more wear and tear?
