Today I have modified my Selector gear Change in "S" Mode.

Read the rest at my web site.

I don't thing there any gain for this mod apart from, you are changing gears the right way compare to the factory OEM setup!

Any feedback would be appreciated :yahoo:

Selector Mod for changing Gear Quicker in "S" Mode

Very good...give us a review - I was seriously considering doing the same thing.

Wonder which idiot thought up the "Push" to upshift - its so counter intuitive, so far, as I hear, only BMW & Mercedes got it right.

You could also change the Pivot point to a harder bushing (I'm guessing that there's a bushing). This give a more solid feel to the shifter. Thats what I did to my previous Merc C200 - which incidently, was also pull to upshift - except it was sideways

Wondering how long did this took you from start to finish?

I was also feeling weird about pushing UP for + and down for -, but i havent think of changing them over like what you did.

After thinking for a while and imagining drive with the swap over, i think then i will feel "normal" too.

Nice, something that i hv never think of doing^^

thanks for input~

BTW, possible to find a way to turn OFF the "ding ding" sound when you forgotten to put on seatbelt or you ARE going to, but just havent put it in yet? TAT i will surely give u a +1 for best mod for aurion TILL NOW!!

When I first read the thread I thought you did something to decrease the lag in shifting, but its normalising the feel of shifting the S mode, neat trick and deserves a +1 in my books for being the first!

There should be a plug under the seat to the seat belt catch. Disconnect it and that should solve it.

However, I don't know why you would drive without seat belts anyway.

Terrific mod and so easy.

Problem is I am sort of getting used to the backwards operation now and find the lag makes it almost useless and slower in spirited driving as it's so hard to time right and damned annoying when it refuses to change down until a lower spedd than you can pick up the lower gear with kickdown anyway.

i reckon its a good thing that u cant change down until the vehicle speed is slower can u imagine the damage that could happen if u managed to get it in to say 2nd out 3rd at like 4000rpm thered b a good chance those front shafts would destroy themselves in about .2secs.

im gettin pretty used to shifting the tranny at the right revs just practise at the end of the day

Sure it's practice that will make it smoother. The trans is programmed to help prolong it's life but I do want to be able to shift down a gear at peak torque 4500rpm thats the whole point to keep it running from 4500 to 6500rpm. Done carelessly this will of course put big strains on the whole fwd trans

just a suggestion.. instead of cutting the loom and voiding your warranty, why not just swap the pins around in the plug?

All it takes is a safety pin and about 1 minute of time.

However, I don't know why you would drive without seat belts anyway.

The reason people ask is because they have long driveways (i.e. farms, properties etc.). And btw, your trick won't work - the seat belt stalk will be open circuit with the seat belt tongue disengaged and hence set the reminder off once above 5km/h. So therefore, disconnecting the loom will keep it open circuit. There might be an option in the Intelligent Tester "Customise" menu to kill the seatbelt reminder... but you're not going to find a dealer who will easily change the setting for you, as they'll be liable if an accident occurs and the driver is thick enough not to wear his/her seatbelt.

Oh, to the OP - why use those cheap crappy little crimp connectors?!? Do the job properly - solder and heat shrink wrap! And have you worked out a way to modify the graphics on your gear selector facia to show the + and - back to front?

I'm not sure what the setup is like as I've not done it and don't think I'd even bother. The circuit could be closed with the seat belt unfastened, or vice versa, you'd just have to figure it out when you do it, but you'd still have to unplug it to find out.

Re: Switch - I wonder if you can put in a switch to switch between selector setups for when you send the car in for servicing.

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
