It reverses the shifting logic so the car will downshift when you push the shift **** up, and upshift when you pull the shift know down.

it reverses your up/down shifts in sport mode for automatic transmissions, thing is thou you can just swap 2 wires in your shifter harness to do it yourself... if you wanna do this its in the sticky FAQ, i think somewhere... ISBU did mine and it took only 3-4min

hey thats for that thread it looks really easy to DIY!


anyone know if this will cause a problem when i take the car to the dealership? Mine is a lease AWD is250 and i am really cautious about what mods i do because of the lease aspect. Has anyone done this to a lease? Or anyone work for a dealership that might be able to ask....i dont want to call and ask mine because last thing i want is for them to suspect i am doing things i shouldnt.

thanks for your help!
