Just completed putting a permanent system in our SST EVO X today rather than having temporary thermcouples mounted in the car. If anyone wants to know how to do it themselves reasonably cheaply we will be more than happy to supply all the photos etc
I cant think of any good reason to use the auto mode unless you are a complete novice. Its good, but it has no concept of balancing the chassis mid-corner etc. on any tracks I have tried it on. The best part of the SST is shifting it manually....and now by installing this gauge you will see that the temperature remains the same - although the slow downs may not - no matter how you shift the transmission :shades:Everyone I have talked to that shifts manually in SS (or any mode for that matter) never gets the "slowdown" message. This is also the case for me, never overheats or gives me the "slowdown" message in manual SS mode. Martin never uses Auto, and therefore never overheats or gets this message. There is something too this folks...
Anyone ever overheat or get the "slowdown" in manual mode?
Good to know the overheat is possible in manual mode too. You are the first one to answer this question and I have been asking it for almost two years now. Thanks man!I have gotten the overheat condition in manual mode several times. I also get it more in super sport mode than sport mode as the rpms stay in a higher rate for longer.
I have tried to beat my auto mode times in manual at the track and have never succeeded and it is not because I don't know how to shift. The factory box does quite a good job in auto, especially in super sport that I find no reason to manually shift as every corner at the track ends up in the proper gear and I would not pick a different gear than the auto box did. The only place I would find it better to use manual is on the street where you cannot predict reliably what you will encounter around the next corner and the manual selection of the proper gear will be a better choice than dealing with the delay or downshift hessitation and temporary gear selection pause or clutch slip that happens in auto where you can't use an immediate power direction change to get out of harms way.
