Post: Changing Auto only cars to manual?
03-24-2013, 05:19 AM #1
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); ok i am working on a i-MiEV for a mate. he wants to have an evo running gear in it.

so ive put the HKS CT230R engine and drive train in it and just used the fully adjustable 6 speed code 17 83 but it still only does Auto.

it might have to do with u cant buy one from the shop. i have searched up on this and didnt come across any threads asking about this.

can any one help me with this please?

Cheers

I don't have a solution, but I also tried this (with a Prius) and the gearbox swap didn't work. I know the engine swap did and I'm pretty sure the drivetrain swap did too. When I test-drove it, in the pre-race options, it wasn't locked to AT like it usually is, and I selected manual, but when I drove it the car was rather solidly in D, with R as my only other option.

I think it might be to do with electric / hybrid cars. I'm pretty sure people have been putting Hayabusa running gear into go-karts with no issues.

I think it doesn't work because these cars have no options for tuning the transmission normally, with a kart it already has a fully customizable transmission.

Nah it does work. u just have to change the gear box to a 6 7 or 8 speed and then input the gears ur self. i will make a picture mentioning where all the gears.

i know it works as my i-MiEV now has 6 gears and goes like stink...

OK here is a pic to help u guys convert ur Auto hybrids to Fast usable track cars.

First of all u need to Change the gear box code from the auto to which ever gear box u want. In my case i just wanted the 6 speed fully adjustable box. 17 83.

Then below all the FF's, u will find the Reverse gear code. dont adjust this at all from what i have heard. it will stop ur gear inputs from working.
so from there u can work out the HEX value of ur 6 gears and input them from 1st to 6th,7th or 8th.. even 9ths now. Then there will be 4 sets of 00 and the next code is ur final gear ratio.

here is a pic with the placement oh each gear. i hope this helps out.

Oh and thanks to ff4257 for this info Smile
