Car finally adjusted to Procede but down shifts are slow.

335Turbo · 05-26-2009, 09:29 PM

Now that I have the procede installed (V3 rev1), I'm noticing that the car doesn't want to down shift fast enough. I really notice this when going up a hill. With the car stock it would down shift much faster and feel stronger when going up hills. Now the car seems to bog down and I have to put it in DS to get any power. Are there any setting I can change on the procede to change this?

The shift logic doesn't change with the PROcede. It doesn't even interface with the TCU. Try running it in valet mode. I think you will see the same behavior. The nonDS mode is pretty lazy.

I'll try valet, but I'm coming from stock and comparing nonDS stock to nonDS procede. It just seems like when going up a large hill it doesn't want to down shift. Maybe because the car is getting more power from the turbo? Yes nonDS is lazy, but nonDS and procede seems to be lazier for some reason.

What about the engine? While it struggles to make it up the hill, it does make it. The RPM's are very low and the gear is high. Anything to be concerned about? To me it seems like the car is in the wrong gear, but I also worry about it being overloaded.

Sounds like the ECU is just picking the gear it thinks it should be in. Just give it a little more gas and see what happens.

you first mistake was getting that automatic tranny. i want to jump out of my fiance's 328 coupe every time i drive it.

gian335 · 05-27-2009, 09:51 PM

not for anything, but the Auto tranny's are known 2 be a little faster than the MT.

With the auto tranny's you don't loose boost on shifts and all runs on the AT seem more linear in IMO. And as for GF'S car, you wanna hop out of it because it's a 328.

They aren't the same tranny, different manufacturers. Come on SoCali, you've been around here long enough to know that.

+1 The difference is significant.

are you talking about the tranny in the 335 as to the one in the 328?

I must be the only one that doesn't experience adaptation with my procede. I change maps and off she goes!!
