Default question for guys with tip tranny
When put my foot down about 75% throttle and try to shift up using the tip tranny it wont shift up and goes to red line, it will shift if I let up on the gas. I just took to my dealer and he said it is normal and the auto tranny over rides the tip? Does everyone have this issue?

Default the tip tranny will override both upshifts and downshifts if you...
use enough throttle input for downshifting or if you hit redline for upshifting. This is regardless of mode.

Default If you are in manual mode and you upshift at 75% throttle it should shift.
This is assuming you are not at like 1500 RPMS

I don't understand. What, you are in neutral, foot on gas, then dump it into gear?

right the tranny will shift for you if need be, but he is saying the tranny wont let him shift.
