I am so surprised no one has asked about the no lift shift or someone post a video of it in action we need one !!!!! I say this only because this was one of the reasons for me wanting to later on order my car manual. I wont change it if it does not have it but I think it would help for those first time manual driving folks!

 

I definitely wouldn't say it's for first time manual driving folks.

And I thought the whole point of "No lift shift" is to maintain turbo boost--keep it spooled--but not hit the rev limiter when manually switching gears. I've only heard of it on the LNF turbo cars, specifically the Cobalt SS.

I guess if you were to put "no lift shift" in the Camaro it would just save the transmission from excessive wear when powershifting. Can anyone confirm this as an option? Is it in any of GM's other cars like the CTS-V?

 

As I recall it was on the Camaro and alot of people didnt really post anything on it which is why I ask. I just wonder what its like in action on a Camaro.

 

According to the "getting to know..." booklet that was posted a while back, launch control only works when the stability control is in competition mode, the car is stopped, and it's in first gear......I wouldn't recommend running it up to redline in first then shoving the clutch to the floor without letting off the gas.

 

I wonder if the no-lift-shift function even made it into the production car. I haven't heard or seen it mentioned in writing in an official document or publication. Anyone have any info on it?

Most all the magazine reviews made mention of the launch control but I don't think a single mention was made of the no-lift-shift feature...

 

x2
...I called into the podcast asking about the no lift shift after Chris and Jason test drove F-bod's car....the call got me a free Camaro z28 die cast but neither Chris nor Jason could answer if it made it to production and what they though about it...

 

I'm pretty sure that only the Cobalt SS has the no-lift shift feature.

 

well someone that has the car needs to check this out and let us in if it does or does not !!! BUST OUT THOSE OWNERS MANUAL!

 

Isn't that what we call "power shifting"? Why do we want more nanny than the rev-limiter for that?

 

Um why not? That is how 99% of us manual guys drive at the track.

 

Ummm...good point.

 

I was also under the impression that "no lift shift" was only in turbo cars to keep the boost up between shifts, otherwise, you can do it on your own in a N/A car.

 

Here's how it will work in the 'vette. Expect the same for Camaro.

that's a cool video! thanks for posting that

It's good to know that using Launch Control won't void your warranty

 

can anyone post a video to confirm this!?
