Auto Transmission

Post by lanerobbins72 »

Has anyone figured out a way to to DIY these automatic transmissions to shift on command, I have a turbo R that I’d like to shift when I want but I can’t find anything or anyone that has done it. Maybe a paddle shifter kit?

I played idea around but first need make tune which bypasses speed limiter for manual commanding in TCM which i not found anyone done on these older models so i havent proceeded plus time restraint.
Edit: I am skeptical there was manual shifter made from Volvo on these models yet and or yet directly having support in firmware but i can be wrong in this part.

One of the reasons autos live a lot longer with ME7 is torque is dialed back during a shift, much faster than any human can do it.
