Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

If I’m not mistaken, the owners manual says it will go to 4th OR 5th, depending on speed.

I’ve only ever had it go to 4th. What’s the “speed criteria” for it to be 5th?

 

If you can't default the gear to current selection, make it default to 5th instead of 4th would be great.

 

Anyone else continuously hitting refresh on the OVtune news page like an obsessed crazy person? Asking for a friend...

 

Agreed. Best compromise, given that limitation.

 

You have no idea… occasionally I leave for 5 minutes then back to refreshing.

New email? Better check if it’s an alert from the thread

 

I really thought I was the only one.

 

What... you think 1.05 is gonna drop before the holidays?

I DO want to read that blog though..

 

Shortly after Mat announced 1.05.

 

Naturally I screwed this up but Mat did say this earlier this week

 

Just sent you some video clips on highway To OVTune Zendesk Support. Let me know if they didn’t make it

 

Thanks I'll check for them!
Sorry I didn't get to your emails this morning I was out of the office.

Edit ** Do you mind sending it to Orangevirus101@gmail.com, I'm not seeing them. There is a size limit on files to zendesk

 

Mine sometimes goes to 3rd. Checked in the manual but no mention of that behavior. Happens about once a month when going into s-mode between 30-40mph.

 

Saw 5th being default, but sometimes I get 3rd. I've never noticed the sentence right afterwards about ai-shift.

 

And I’ve never seen it go into anything other than 4th.

Just goes to show how wonky these things are.

 

You'll never get 3rd by moving the shifter over.

It'll go to 5th if your speed is too high for 4th.

 

I would rather it default to 3rd. I think when I would use it most is going up a hill in "D" and wanting to shift down for the assured power and control of the shift points, avoiding an unwanted upshift when the the truck thinks is necessary ...

 

It's done it for me. Usually going up the hill before home.

 

Maybe we have overlooked a potential mod that would benefit alot of folks...

I wonder if there is a way to modify the shifter to go into S5 instead of D when you pull it straight back.
6th gear is fucking useless and the trans shifts stupid unless its in S mode with ECT on.
