jb124 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I have the 2010 Sport. I am extremely disappointed in the post-take-off acceleration (rolling start, passing, etc). It was my first automatic transmission car so at first I thought the slow downshift was just me not being used to using an ATX but after a few years and a few rental cars, I realize my car hates to accelerate. Yes I have the select shift thing but I'd rather just hit the gas and have it downshift for me. It moves very fast from a dead stop though. Is this a common thing with the 6-speed ATXs or do I just need to put more lead in my shoes? It would be nice if it had a 'sport mode' like other ATXs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Have you replaced the air filter recently? That might be slowing down the throttle response. Otherwise it's just the way it's programmed. You can try disconnecting the negative battery terminal for a few minutes to reset the transmission shift point table to see if it helps. That's one of the few actual uses for selectshift - forcing downshifts and holding a gear so it doesn't upshift especially on long downhill roads. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueOval2010 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 My sport burns rubber when I floor it between 5 - 10 mph in auto mode. It's a different story between 30 - 35. I practically have to push the throttle through the floor to get it to down-shift. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
