Sport mode: anyone figured out how to force the transmission into Top Gear reduce rpm like normal mode?

day and night difference between normal mode and sport mode with power delivery and transmission function. Would love to have the rpm drop as low as it does a normal mode when cruising on the highway. Not sure why they engineered sport mode to keep the rpm higher, even when cruising on the highway.

I wish fx4 kept sport and eco modes. I also wish the 8th gear was a higher ratio to keep engine rpms down when at highway speeds.

I also have a GT500 with the 7 speed DCT. When in sport mode cruising on the highway it shifts into top keep and settles down. It is such a good combo. Guessing someone will figure out how to force the trans in the Mav to stay at low rpm while in sport mode like when in normal mode.

They are there, just locked behind a door (that’s super easy to unlock…. And it’s totally worth it)

So you're saying one could potentially have sport, eco, normal, mud ruts, sand, and slippery? 😃

Forscan?
Correct. It's in the Forscan part of the forum.
