Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

It seems logical that there should be a way to set the Tip so that when it is in Drive, it utilizes SC5 all the time.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I drive in manual mode as much as possible, but in heavy commuter traffic, I leave it in drive. Is there a way to keep the Tip in the SC5 program (most aggressive of the shift programs on the all the time? Streather's great book taught me that I can blip the throttle on start-up to activate the SC5 program, but it reverts back after a while... p. 250, Streather, "Whenever the 996 is started, the TCU has the shift characteristics of SC 1. An active gearshift skip into SC 5 can be a achieved, irrespective of shift characteristics, by quickly opening the throttle. If the throttle is then closed by more than 25%. the previous shift characteristics are resumed." It seems logical that there should be a way to set the Tip so that when it is in Drive, it utilizes SC5 all the time. Thoughts?

POST 2Original post

I would like to know that too... But the big question, why did they not bother with a "S" button.....?

POST 3Original post

I had a Tip before but don't know how either to make it full time as the lowest map is ridiculous. Getting to 5th gear by 35 MPH is crazy. I remember your pain..... Find an EE friend and have he/she remap the computer.
