Overreving engine with automatic transmition
Hi guys,
I've an automatic 20' BRZ (heavy traffic area, don't hate ). I usually drive in manual mode and was wondering if it's possible to overrev the engine with automatic transmition. e.g, i usually downshift at 4k RPM and i get to around 6k rpm when need some power. What will happen if i downshift at 6k, will the transmition allow it? Thanks |

In one instance I did manage to downshift directly into the rev limiter. I have OFT as that is likely different than stock. it has never let me do it beyond that one instance, normally it leaves a cushion of some sort

OFT has a "soft rev limiter" formed by reducing timing to negative values in the top 200rpm or so. The actual "redline" is higher than the engine can achieve in gear because of this. You probably got it right in that range where the transmission saw it was ok, but the timing was reduced.

I drive in manual mode a good bit. You can downshift pretty much at any point. As mentioned, it's the REV Limiter that keeps you from exceeding redline, not the transmission.
The only time I've seen the transmission do anything "automatic" in manual mode is downshift if you are going slow enough the engine would stall otherwise. On the other end, you can bounce off the rev limiter to your hearts content as far as i can tell from practical experience.

I suppose never say never, there may be some magic combination of shifting, throttling, left nostril twitching all at the same time that could get past the nannies.

It won’t let you money shift. It also wont skip over gears similar to sequential.
If shifting to a gear would put you above 7400rpm rev limiter it won’t let you shift to the new gear. You can shift into a gear if when shifting it will end up at 7399rpm in the new gear and then immediately bang off limiter if you give it any gas. It also won’t let you up shift into a gear if it will drop RPM too low in the new gear IE 700rpm in 2nd won’t let you shift to 3rd. |

If we use this chart, and the example I gave, then we see that in third gear at redline we would be traveling around 95mph. If we shifted into second gear by accident then we would still be close to 95mph, and the rpms would be around 10,500rpms.

Even worse, if the rev limiter cuts the throttle at the same time when the engine is forced to rev at 10500rpm, there can be engine damage until engine brake slows the car down and rpm decrease below red line. I would imagine that is a big impact load on valvetrain and connecting rods. I have done accidental downshifts before and the AT allowed those. Since the shifting mechanism is sequential, one has to do a triple tap for such a severe case. I think the AT will not do that downshift, but I have no intention to find out.

Not multiple. Downshift at redline by hitting the wrong paddle in an automatic that doesn't lock you out of gear is all it takes. Hit the rev limiter in this situation is good, so the accelerator wouldn't cause even more revs. Yes, this is bad on the connecting rods and on the valvetrain, specifically for valve float.

That face when you downshift and send the revs to the moon.
