6th gear is a joke!

Besides always driving in S mode is there any mods to avoid 6th gear engaging? It seems to be a useless gear unless you're traveling on a long level road, because at any sign of the slightest uphill grade it downshifts one sometimes two gears. And it seems like the transmission is in a hurry to shift as quickly as possible into 6th.
Yeah and before some of you say "get a manual", I didn't want one!

 

Re-gear to 5.29's it will make you fall in love the 6th gear!

 

knock knock

Who's there?

6th gear

6th gear who?

*shift sound*

Hi, I'm 5th gear

 

If you had a 19 I'd say go get the new TSB... it's amaze-ballz

 

You need to do both front and rear when you re-gear, correct?

 

I'm not going to say anything.

 

Sixth gear does amazing stuff for me on my frequent drive down the I-17 from 7,000 ft to Sea Level. Back uphill is S4 anyways, so I am glad that sixth is there for me on the way down.

 

Correct. I was joking a bit, however; I don't know of any way to keep it out of 6th without S mode.

 

That's literally what S5 is for.....

 

I feel having the transmission in ECT mode helps reduce the amount of shifting between gears.

 

It changes the shift points.

 

Yes I know, and those shift points IMO are better than the standard shifts point, as each gear has a larger/broader RPM levels.

 

Mine works great

 

Ok I won’t say trade it for a manual, but the gears in the manual make a huge difference

 

Only way is to keep in S mode. Otherwise it’s gunna try 6th.

how fast are you going on the freeway?

$$ options:
Try Ov tune
Or try regearing 4.88 (looks like your tires are close to stock size)

 

You have a 2018 - look into getting your ECU updated to the latest version. And if that doesnt work, look into VFTune.

I cant believe that I'm the first person here to say that.

Edit: 2nd person. Missed it by that much.

I went with the all in option!

 

Easy just don’t hit the clutch and shift into 6th.
