[norcalcam]

Manually upshift then.

are you using your ECT(PWR) button...it does just that and thats how we do that. if ya are then check your fluid level and condition. if thats all fine check to see that the button is engaging.

ya i use the ect power button and i always make sure its down and the light says its on next to the gauges. how do i check the fluid?

What are your RPMs at? The trans isn't going to stay at redline any longer than it has to. And why bother racing? A Camry and a Honda isn't exactly the most interesting thing to watch and I'd hate to see something happen to any TN'ers.

i think around 6000 rpm and when a honda rolls by you and revs their engine you wouldnt do anything? ya thanks and i am a safe driver.

I wouldn't try to do anything, because safe drivers don't try to street race, genius...

ya YOU wouldnt try to do anything. gaurenteed 75% of TN wouldnt just lay down if a honda came up next to them and tried to race...

personally i dont care what rolls up next to me i wont race, honds are usually alot faster then even my car anyways...but thats where i live. BUT, it doesnt matter fellas, different folks different strokes. even if 75% of us do we dont talk about street racing on the forum...rules are rules.


back on topic ladies. check your trans dip stick. your lookin for a bright pink color, if its real dark then its time for a flush. however 6K rpms is aboput where the trans would shift anywyas. i think the 3vz is like 6300rpms or somthing and it will almost never go past redline. did it use to shift at higher RPMs??

back on topic ladies.

Agreed, I wash my hands of this immature street racing dreck. The other 25% of us know our b**ls big, and don't need to prove that to the world. We've matured beyond the need to do so.

Agreed to disagree. If they were more tracks available there would be less street racing.

OP...this is prolly all the help your gonna get out of this thread. apparently staying on topic is too much to ask at this point. good luck.
