Add another 6 speed guy very interested in removing rev hang! Honestly I don't need or want the extra power, I just want my Jeep to drive like it has a physical throttle cable. I'm really surprised there aren't more complaints about the MT. It's easily the worst MT I've driven in terms of engine behavior while shifting, including a handful of other throttle-by-wire cars I've driven.
The things I hate the most about the stock tune with the 6 speed are obviously the atrocious rev hang, the throttle staying open for a good second when I let my foot off the gas, and the lack of usable engine braking. I believe these are all related to how the tune controls the throttle plate when I let off the gas. If the throttle would just snap closed when I let off, I think I'd be much happier. The crappy throttle response also makes rev matching for downshifts a pain, but it sounds like you guys are already addressing throttle response. The issue is just amplified with the MT in my opinion.
I'd buy this product in a heartbeat if these issues could be addressed.
Side question: can I pass CA smog with this? Would I have to buy a new ECM so I can swap the stock one back in for the test?
Thanks!
