Do you keep ECT on?

[jason7504]

I know that with ECT on, it waits longer to shit and its a rougher shift but my 1-2 shift is pretty rough, its a good jerk so checked the fluid and it seemed ok. So i tried shutting it off and its a lil better but that 1-2 gear is still kind of jerky. Do most of you keep the ECT on or keep it off?

haha i hear ya,
in my 84 i always keep it in power mode cuz everything else it totally lame.
my first to second if i keep fully stomped will nearly bust me out sideways, and if there is moisture its a 100% chance of wheel spin with lsd engaging and sidways, its like a moron proof drifting car

its even worse if i take it out of OD

What so ECT makes your supra constipated? I'd ask a doctor tbh

lol sorry it had to be done...

Seriously though if I'm feeling skint (as usual!) and driving in town below 30-35mph it usually stays in eco & O/D-off, out on open roads I mainly use eco & O/D-on for top gear & only really use pwr or man settings if I'm either showing off or showing up M3s & 5s... or if there's plenty of juice in the tank pwr goes on then too as it just feels more sporty, remember though the Supra isn't meant to be an out & out sports car it's a GT and if you look at the car in that context the eco setting has it's value in that it gives nice relaxed cruising at lower rpm's & after all, if you want a kick in the back it's only the press of a button away so might as well use all the settings in their place really...

haha it was supposed to say shift lol but now that you mention it... haha

so when you say "eco" you mean normal mode aka ECT off?
