sport-shift

[longview82]

I am getting a 2000 Celica GTS with a sport-shift automatic transmission...I don't know much about cars and have no idea what a sport-shift automatic transmission is. Does this mean that I can drive the car as an automatic or a manual? Please write me back.

u can manually change the gears on the steering wheel but hteres no clutch or stick its just little buttons....haha my guidence councelor at my school has one hahaha

a button shift on the steering wheel, i've seen a mod for that but it looks like it'd short out fast or something

my friend had an eclipse with tiptronic.. im guessing its about the same thing.. he could choose when to shift but it wouldnt shift as hard.. basically like a regular auto...

i drove a vehicle with tiptronic but never got the basics of it down

[00 Blk Celica GT-S]

dont get an automatic anyways
unless your just learning to drive, then you get a honda

ya tiptronic is a button shifter on the steering wheel, mainly used for race cars to remove the gear shift, its not for an auto though, i dont think

[iceecellica]

whats not to get about the tiptronic...... quit bashing honda so much...

sorry for bashing honda but im just sayin wat i think, dont like it too bad, but i didnt get the button set up becuase it was on the center console by the shifter and it was complicating at the tiem

i beleive the sport shift is actually a center stick type thing not a button on the steering wheel... you can put it in auto...or move the stick over and push it up and down when you want to change gears...drove an eclipse like that too..it was actually kinda fun. but then again kinda boring no feet work involved. dont even have to take your foot off the gas.

ive actaully seen one the guidence councler at my school has it on her celica...there 2 buttons on each side the the steerin wheel that u can press to shift the gears..kidna tight because the harder you are down on the pedal the faster it will shift... kinda hard to do if ur turning though

coo

after lookin around the internet, icce was right, the sport shift is where you can push the gear shift over and push it up and down to shift up and down the gears.
