Hope for us Auto Guys yet...

today i noticed something interesting...i was just fooling around in manual mode. i was at a stop light and i decided to give it a one go. anyways for some reason, there was no lag between 1-2 when i shifted around 5500ish?(unusually quick) usually if i shift at a lower rpm, i get a half second delay. when i think about it, maybe we're using our manual mode all wrong if we get that delay? or maybe its just me..lol

A lot of it has to do with your foot too. I've gotten pretty good at easing up off the gas while shifting in manual mode, and the shifts are a lot of quicker this way. It's happened to me a few times too, where the shift was insanely fast and I had no idea what the hell I just did lol.
I just took a look at that wot box GB that is going on and then looked at the installation instructions.
here's some of my thoughts.
Since we let off when the auto tranny is switiching gears so that the engine doesn't chew it to s***. couldn't the 2step be used to cut power from the motor when the tranny is switching gears.
is there a signal off the tranny that could go to the "clutch" wire to the WOT box. that would let off the power.
This would be more of a safety feature for us, rather than a speed increasing thing.
My thought is that if you're mashing it in 3rd and the ecu decides to drop to second, the wot box would cut power when it's doing that so you'll get a couple of seconds to realize and let off the pedal.
thoughts?

And SIBalla has the v2..
V2 has wideband logging.
both of you guys running the afc are boosted right?
i spoke to lentech people today about the tranny control box, and it isn't what people (or just me) think it is.
The control box is for people building race only cars that use automatics and aftermarket standalones. the control box is only for running the transmission.
they also told me that they could "tune" the stock ecu to change the shift points and line pressures. I might have to take them up on that since they're only 2 hrs away from me.
and i've been doing research on the wiring of the auto, seems like there might be a way to keep the tcc locked.

Yes the two of us are boosted.

so i could send them my ecu and they could tune it and send it back?? too cool!!!
no they won't do that, they needed the car for a couple of hours
I wonder if after they have one Mazda, if they could replicate others without actually needing to have them there. Mail them your ECU like Joe is suggesting.

I was an auto with a turbo. One of the first i believe. I've been turboed since fall 02. The tranny did not hold up to well at all. I regularly changed the fluid, used a tranny and oil cooler, ran only royal purple fluids, and let off the gas when it was gonna shift.
IMOP unless you want to get a lentech tranny ditch the atx. I paid $500 for everything to swap in the MTX and now with a good clutch and flywheel, i'm running, er was running, 30 psi on the high and 20 all day.
The ATX is the weak link by far.
Just my $.02

still going strong here...about 65k miles on a reg auto...(only 6 psi though)
Only 500 bucks for a swap????????
I'd do a MT swap for sure if it only cost that much..more details please!!!
