shaz2010 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Just a quick question can't find a correct clear answer. Can I switch from drive (D) to Manu mode while driving or do I have to stop dead and then press the Manu button? Cheers shaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaz2010 Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 Cheers joe I have always done it that way but just thought I might be killing the auto box by not stopping first . Was never sure. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattP Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 You can engage MANU mode also known as "WARP" mode whilst stationary or whilst moving the choice is yours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samsar Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Just another quick question regarding MANU mode. Should you use it regularly as I've had my Auto coming up for three years and have never used it (because I don't know how to ) ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris0132 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 What is it I had a manu mode on my is300 but had buttons on my steering wheel but there's nothing on this so how do you use it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't 'use it' as such it just does Have a read of this very useful article Ian C put up http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?86128-The-Autobox-Modes-of-Operation Manual mode essentially shortens the time between gear charges, also making them a bit harsher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wile e coyote Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Warp drive is a hypothetical faster-than-light (FTL) propulsion system in the setting of many science fiction works, most notably Star Trek. A spacecraft equipped with a warp drive may travel at apparent speeds greater than that of light by many orders of magnitude, while circumventing the relativistic problem of time dilation. In contrast to many other fictional FTL technologies, such as a "jump drive" or the Infinite Improbability Drive, the warp drive does not permit instantaneous travel between two points; instead, warp drive technology creates an artificial "bubble" of normal space-time that surrounds the spacecraft (as opposed to entering a separate realm or dimension like hyperspace, as is used in the Star Wars, Stargate franchise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheefa Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I loved MAU mode on my old Auto TT. Certainly good for hard pulls from the off around town and sounded much better on the overrun when dropping down a cog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumpbike Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 does anyone know if the manu mode would have been standard on a 94 JDM supra? I have an engine and box going in something and would be interested if there is going to be a wire there somewhere I can stick a button on for manu mode. thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spunkmeyer Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Hahah warp mode love it! Course you can I always shift it when I know iv got an overtake coming up Or when cruising in town and want to be heard by keeping it low, never really use L or 2 I'm confused now? the above response sounds more like the overdrive button on the handle that kicks down itself, makes an almighty noise and I usually finish my overtake manoeuvre with the car I just passed flashing their headlights in disgust or just bruised ego. I'll go back and read the link. But as one of the previous posts said already, I've had my auto 3yrs never used manual, but use overdrive all the time Age old question I'm sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After having my NA converted to TT Manu mode didn't work and the O/D light flashed constatly. I had to change the bay loom to a TT loom to get it working again.

I had to change the bay loom to a TT loom to get it working again. the whole loom is still attached as the box is still attached to the engine so I think all I will have to splice together is the odd wire from the cars dash/air con etc. But the manu wire should be there somewhere, probably terminating in 1 of the thousand plugs that will no longer have a home. thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I recall correctly the O/D button still works even though the light constantly flashes. The good news is you don't have to touch the wiring behind the dash apart from the rev counter mod.

ScottC Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Cheers for the info mate was it easy enough to change the bay loom with the engine in? Also whats the REV counter mod? im fitting a TT rev counter. I swapped mine in a day, having never done one before, it's a jack the front up, wheels off and drop the wheel arch liners job. You will also need to remove the rad so you can get the old loom out from behind, and the TT one in. The benefits are you can then swapp the NA rad shroud for a TT and fit the front and rear electric cooling fans. The Rev counter mod is to make the NA rev counter work it's just a link between two soldered joints inside the rev counter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already have the TT shroud and fans which I was wondering where to wire them in but you have answered that also. Off to source a TT auto BAY loom.
