automatic to "triptronic"

[vman5911]

is there a way to add a "tiptronic" transmission option to an automatic car? I love that feature, and i'm upset that my car doesn't have it.

No. No. Really, no.

ok u mean sports tronic right? thats what i call it anyways lol. Yeah would b an interesting feature. I would love to have a 5 spd tranny with sequential shifter myself.

the only way to do it would to put in some kind of ratchet shifter. it can be dont but no one has done it and it still wouldnt be a "sport tronic" since its mechnanical and thoes shifters are all electric. most would just say shift manualy, (OD off)1-2-D-OD on. down shifting an auto manually isnt very good though, its easy to screw up.

What do you mean we don't hae it?? CRAP now I'm upset too! I thought ALL camrys had lambo and rarri trannys.

WHY did I buy this car...

[vman5911]

So it can be done...it just hasn't been done before?

[ghettosled]

if you really want to shift gears, buy a car with a manual transmission. its fun to use the pedal to the far left, the "man pedal".

it has never been done, if you succeed then yes...it can be done.

LMAO.
such an inspiring quote.

idk, i think it would be a stretch. I dont think its necessary, it would cost a substantial amount of money to get that done if you are even able to find someone willing to take such a job. Just get the manual, it will cost less, and give an even better experience.

WTF is a triptronc transmission? A manualy-shfted Automatic?

[the_professional]

Yep, isnt it tiptronic though?

I think it was developed by Porshe.

Its an auto/manual transmission.
& newer ones "adapt" to the driving "style" of the driver.

Manumatic, tiptronic, etc. Goes under several names.

[vman5911]

yeah, it's tiptronic

[bigbird]

its whatever ya want to call it. tiptronic, sportronic, manumatic, kinda funner slushbox...as long as everyone else knows what your talking about.

i would love if somone would do this. a manual is just not an option for me(and many others) but i like control of my tranny without the fear of flinging my shifter from L to N as it would be now. it feels funner and sportier...even though its still jsut as lumberous.
