Can the S650 10R80 be tuned to skip more gears?

[Corpisoturi]

Is it possible to tune the 10R80 in a 2024 Mustang GT to use fewer gears during normal driving?


I feel like the transmission shifts way too often because of the 10 gears. I’d like it to skip more gears during light/normal throttle, for example something like 1st → 3rd → 5th → 7th → 9th/10th, instead of going through almost every gear.


Under heavier throttle or WOT, I’d still want it to use all 10 gears normally.

just click on the paddles

This is not an option!

This would be a great question for...your tuner. Or your potential tuner.

Not really. I'd be less than 5% of the owners here even have their cars tuned.

You and I both know plenty of tuners frequent this forum.

If I did do something like that, it would look like this. it would probably also drive like dogshit.

1>3, 3>5, 5>7 then 7>8>9>10. All at 17% or less throttle. If you were riding the edge of throttle pedal position, it might jump up and down between gears like this. But I would have to test it, but I sure am not going to. But if you can find a tuner willing to do this, this is about what it would look like for normal mode at least. There is one of these tables for every mode and most are different.

My car seems to go from first to third, if it is hitting second gear it isn't there for long.

I hit the paddles all the time in auto mode.

Do you not like the paddles or you have a poverty pony without them?

I'm doing a little test on the current tank of gas. I'm using sport mode only to see if there's much/any difference in fuel use.
But I do like the different shift protocol though, downshifts especially, except for hanging on to a gear too long occasionally.

Probably needs re learn.ask your dealer to perform that.

Good luck. This is one of the bigger drivers for my getting the manual. I don’t enjoy the sound from the automatic because it’s just shifting constantly.

I have paddles, but I don't like the fact that the car sounds like it only has one gear!

The thing that annoys me most about the automatic gearbox is that when slowing down gently to between 20-35kmh (lots of speed bumps here) it drops down only to 3rd gear, when ideally you’d want to be pulling away in 2nd, so either you have to intervene with the paddles, or by jabbing or mashing the throttle. This happens in both Sport and Track modes.

If I regularly use the paddle to force it to choose 2nd gear will it “relearn” my habits and change its shifting pattern? Can the learnt behaviour be wiped using FORScan?

Would double tapping the paddles work?
