yea dont like the implementation they did on my IS350, my bros TSX implementation of the manumatic was much better. I want to be more in control of the gear im in, not have it be a gear limiter.

Thanks.

Me too...that's why I personally would not use S-mode for anything other than to hold the tranny in a particular gear.

Agreed--the sport shifter in my '02 TL-S performed much better than the ES 350 S mode, especially when it comes to how much quicker (relatively speaking) the gears shift on the Acura sport shifter.
