sport shift automatic and hp
I was surprised to see how tight the shifts remained with the extra power. The 98 Prelude sport shift I had with nitrous used to sliiiide into the next gear while juicing. I didn't have a transmission cooler on it though.
On this Prelude, before the transmission cooler, it was common for the shift feel to change as the car warmed up. It would start out pretty nice and firm, and as everything warmed up, the shifting would get soft. It got soft, but not too soft.
With the cooler installed, the shifts stay as firm as when you first start out. I was a little suprised to see that with boost, they are just as firm, if not firmer than without boost. They could be firmer too, because the sport shift tranny has a torque-sensing ATF pressure regulator, so the harder you're on it, the firmer it shifts.
