You guys are doing fantastic work!!
No, S-Sport is in the TCU, same with launch control. If you swap the trans or TCU you will get S-Sport and LC magically on the RA. So the code in the ECU is the same, it basically just has the path nipped.

The gear ratios are different in MR/RA.

S-Sport mapping is still in the ECU as code, just needs the path re-attached, aka, MR TCU or TCU ROM (which we currently cannot do).

You mean shorter?

RA:

1st: 3.655
2nd: 2.368
3rd: 1.754
4th: 1.322
5th: 0.983
6th: 0.731
Reverse: 4.011
Final Drive:4.062

MR:

1st: 3.655
2nd: 2.368
3rd: 1.754
4th: 1.322
5th: 1.008
6th: 0.775
Reverse: 4.011
Final Drive:4.062

So.

On a MR with stock 245/40/18 tires:

5th at 3500 rpm: 65.8mph
6th at 3500 rpm: 85.5mph

On a RA with 245/40/18 tires:

5th at 3500 rpm: 67.4mph
6th at 3500 rpm: 90.7mph

So yes you are right, RA has taller gearing, if using the same tires.

On a RA with stock 215/45/18 tires:

5th at 3500 rpm: 67.2mph
6th at 3500 rpm: 90.3mph

So basically the same.

I know it's kind of a thread jump but was wondering if it could be tune related.
Sounds like clutch slipping. Was it cold? If it's not cold then it might signal a tranny issue.

I HAVE had it do funny things when rolling to a near-stop in 2nd, then manually downshifting to 1st, and applying light throttle thereafter. It then sometimes can't decide if it really wants to do 1st or not... it revs up a partially engaged 2nd, blunders around for a bit, then finds 1st.

I just tweaked the latest "Balance" beta to reflect the 2011 stock-map light-throttle/low-rpm style SST tables. Those differ markedly from my native 2009 SST tables. Indeed, exporting my style over to the 2011 caused lurchy fun for 'em (sorry, beta guys ). I wonder if the 2011-like values will have improved this longstanding erratic 2nd/1st selection, when rolling super-slow. I'll have to try it out again.

It did the flashing "R"everse emblem again this morning while leaving for work. It was only for a moment until it seated in. I have since flashed back to stock and dropped her off at the dealership. They have yet to duplicate the reverse issue. On a side note, the service manager has seen the blinking reverse before on a ralliart that was flooded. Appearantly there is a control module under the shifter that could be at fault. Unfortunately with no trouble codes (strange how that happened???) they are confused on how to progress. The current plan seems to be just keep trying to repeat the failure.

I'm not sure of your situation but the flashing "R" is normal for the SST. It happens to me more than not and it lasts a few seconds. It's completely normal.

Flashing R is completely normal behavior. It has to do with which shaft the R is on relative to starting the car (w/ 6th IIRC). It has to change shafts, so the flashing R is saying "wait a tick".

Thanks a bunch for the replies. Good to know it isn't anything to worry about.

Mine did this heaps - until I changed my "bad" habit of taking my foot off the brake before engaging reverse. The SST hates any microscopic movement when trying to go from P to R.

IIRC, "Park" is really the SST deliberately tying itself up in a knot using the gears, lol. It's not like an automatic with a locking pin. Excuse the vagueness - software guy here, can you tell? The upshot is, for whatever internal reason, it's hard for the SST to go from P to R... and it needs a moment of Zen stillness to do it.

So... just check your unconscious habits behind the wheel... you could be leaving the car free from brake resistance when switching to R...

The engineers might be thinking that there's a lot of dummy drivers out there that are flooring the car even in reverse. Ask me why? They're idiots!

First off, thanks to big Steve for loaning me his tactrix cable. I just got done testing balance 14 from Rich. The hot maps work very well. At partial throttle, car shifts up like butter, and rev matches down shifts excellent. My main goal is to test out the cold map portion of it. I should get to cold test it some tomorrow and report back.

I would also give it a big thumbs up. I tested Balance 14 all afternoon today and it is by far the best basemap to date!

Is "Balance 14" available for a 2011 w/TBE and boost pill on 93 octane?
