Ghost upshift

I have the APv3 with a modified stage3 map on my '12MR. I had the ghost upshift happen after letting the car downshift for me in manual mode at a light. I never let the car downshift for me so when it upshifted to 2nd on its own I was surprised and didn't know what to think. Sounds like there is a known issue with cobb sst map/tune. Elsewhere in this thread there was a comment about slipping of the clutch pack that was solved with a tune. What are the details on that? I will try to get more info from Cobb on the ghost upshift. Historically they are good with support.

All I've read and heard from tuners is the MR is a poor match for an AP unless protuned. If I felt any odd shifting with an MR I'd uninstall that ASAP to prevent any damage.

I asked Cobb about this and went around the table with them for a while about different maps and at the end of the day they told me to get the Car protuned.... I ended up selling the APv3 to a kid with a GSR. For now the car is all show and stock go and thats okay for me.. Good luck and let us know what happens

I figured it wasn't worth the headache and sold it to a friend that has a gsr. Other than the idle issues, his car runs just fine.

I'm thoroughly convinced that if you run an ap then you must get a pro-tune. There's really no way around it and regardless of what cobb says about their ots maps and updates, the sst does not like their software! My special edition didn't like it, my co-workers 12 mr didn't, the person i purchased it from had issues with his 13 mr. Take it from me, ditch it and get yourself a tactrix table and use one of the free base maps provided here or on evox. You'll be soooooo happy that you did.
