If you do the above, you should get a SCH. Let me know if it works!

Why the hell is anyone flooring a car while in 4th gear at 60kmh.
Maybe all these SCH are guys who don't know how to drive properly.
LOW RPM + HIGH LOAD (Peddle to the floor) = Bad sound, Bad feeling, Bad everything.
I am not sure the kick down is what even causes the problem, it's everything before the actual dropping of gears that causes the SCH.
I have never tried this because I always drive my car in Manual mode but let's say I am doing 70kmh in 7th gear and I mash the throttle past kick down but I don't press the paddle shifter, will it drop gears for me?
I suspect the dropping gears is what might actually save the SCH but it is never done quick enough.
I believe most of these SCH happen when engine is at 1500-2000 RPM and someone mashes the damn throttle trying to accelerate in too high of a gear and there goes your engine.
Word of advice, keep your RPM's in the 4-5k range before mashing throttles unless you are in first and second where the load isn't extensive enough and you are in the proper gear for low RPM acceleration. Do people not feel that engine struggle when they mash in high gear? |
Correct me if I'm wrong but that's how you drive an automatic. The vehicle will select the highest gear for maximum mpg and when you put your foot down, it drops to the lowest gear possible.
This is how automatic are meant to be driven so I'm not sure what you're trying to say. If the vehicle didn't have paddle shifters or a manual shifter, you think the car will drop one gear, and then another? |
What I am saying is do not use the kickdown and stop mashing throttle when under 2k rpm.
If you are driving an M car drive it how it's meant to be driven, no need for agressive downshifts if you are running around town at 3k+ rpm all day, 1 downshift and you are in your power band.
I don't downshift 1 gear after the other, I just stay at 3-4k rpm all day and downshift once and i am at 4-5k i can pin it, and move, if i am trying to do highway pulls i will be at 5k+ lowest gear possible if i am going to pull.
If i am at a track i am hanging out 1 downshift away from max acceleration, there is never a reason why you should be consistently mashing from 7th to 2nd.
Do people really hang around at sub 2k rpm and just decide oh fuck i want this max acceleration right now let me just kick this shit down, maybe the odd emergency pass? |
Doesn't the vibration annoy you after a minute? Lol am I the only one that shifts in the 2k-2.5k range?
