I am watching this after a year, I had many questions and I got all answers from the video as well as comments, I never saw a CZcamsr responding to all questions/comments of his video, and I got my all answers which I was looking for a while. Big respect for you bro. 🙏
So glad I could help!
Same bro, had the car for a year and some change and still didn’t know its full potential
I'm working towards getting a Mustang and this video is really helping me understand some of the various modes more than other videos I've seen. You did a great job explaining. I hope to get a 2020-2021 GT off the lot.
I’m glad I could help! Good luck on your GT, you’ll love it!
Me too bro,
if u can go with a 2021 trust me
really nice and informative video man!!
putting the gear shifter in Sport also forces the gears to stay the same when using the paddle shifters. Using sport+ in Drive(D) will shift on its own still letting you use the paddle shifters but it will force change gears when rpms get too high or reach a certain level :)
You are correct!
Bro this blew my mind ty
Great channel, man. "Crowd killer mode" lol.
Lol thanks
great video!🔥
Great video!
Thanks!
Track mode doesn't hunt for gears as much as either sport mode. It actually anticipates throttle responses based on spirited driving methods/conditions
To me it shifts exactly the same
@@JVette01 they shift completely different. Track kinda waits to shift based on how you throttle the the throttle. Sport will kinda do its own thing and shift regardless
I definitely notice a difference…it feels faster in track than sport
Great vid! Answered all my questions except one does it make any difference if I put the car in sport+ mode AND! put the stick in the S mode instead of regular drive
No it doesn’t. The drive mode itself overrides the shifter
This is helpful my brother just got a new ecoboost and is awesome , keep the great content :)
Glad I could help, thanks!
Thanks I been having a big ass delay on my rolls but this help out a lot finna shows this scat ppl what this 10sp can do now
Be safe and get those snack packs 😂
Thank you. Best explanation!
You’re welcome!
Hi great video. I have a 2020 gt 6spd. When I turn traction off RPM pops up on my dash. What does that mean. Also in sport mode what does LC mean ? Thank you
It’s for launch control in manual trans vehicles
Another thing that happens in track mode which many may not catch. It tries to keep the starting RPMs higher to keep you in a peak power band. So when you driving in say like your idle driving you sit at around 2K rpms. You select track and you will see your rpms be maintained in a gear at around 4K rpms.
What is the best way to launch the car if I have the Cobb accesport in what Rep, TC on or off , etc.
The best is drag strip mode, t/c off. However, depending on your traction, this might not be beneficial
What if the first gear that you shift is manual but you held it for 3 seconds so it automatically went out of paddle shift mode but still in sport mode. Might not work in 40 rolls but might works in 60 rolls since it has time.
That takes too long. The method I show in the video is best.
@@JVette01 I 100% agree.
One more thing. From what I understand. The only way to turn off AdvanceTrac and have it stay off in Sport+ or Track (toggles) is to be stopped with foot on the brake when you turn it off. Would be nice if a tune could allow us to turn off AdvancTrac without it coming back on at all.
Hey great video bro I just have a few questions do you recommend me racing other cars on the streets or highway, in sports plus, track or drag strip? Also u recommend traction off or on? In what mode will my car go the fastest? Thanks.
Drag strip with traction off. Be safe though ;)
@@JVette01 thanks for the reply back ASAP I appreciate it. Just a another question, is it a major difference if I drive on drag strip with traction on then off when I’m racing other cars, bc I want to have the traction control on for my safety incase the car gets out of control.
Traction off just makes it spin in a straight line (if you spin) it won’t let you get out of hand. I turn it off so I know there’s no computer intervention for straight line acceleration
Question is it okay if I put it on Sports+ mode then put the transmission to ( D ) does it shifts it automatically i have no idea how to use the paddle shifters yet
Yes
I’m gonna be going to a track next month, do you have any advice with that?
If you have drive modes, put it in track!
Exactly how I do it in my '21 PP1
👍👍
So I can drive in all modes without having to use paddles? Unless I engage it myself and also being in the s in the shifter correct?
Correct.
What if I was in normal mode and I used the up paddle shift and ended up needing to break to slow down. Is that ok or do I need to shift back down to where I was originally at? I know I’m 6 months late.
It will automatically downshift if you’re in too low of a gear for the speed.
@@JVette01 great thanks!! Didn’t expect the fast reply😅
From what I understand on my ‘15 GT, Track mode is the only one that turns off traction/stability control completely. Sport and sport+ adjust the level of traction/stability control response to allow a bit more of ‘out of shape’ or slide. All modes adjust (except normal) adjust the timing or tune to give more aggressive throttle and shift response. But, again from what I understand, any mode other than track, the traction/stability control will turn back on if you get too far out of shape and you lift off gas pedal. This is what causes most crashes. I find Sport (shifter) is more than enough for a roll race.
Thank u so much man
You’re welcome!
Could you use paddle shifters and have it at sport + mode at the same time?
Yes
So if you have it on drive,normal steering, normal drive mode. It’s automatic transmission right? No using paddle shifters.
Yes it automatically shifts.
@@JVette01 Thank you!
So I got a 2022 mustang gt. So I put it in drag mode on the driver modes and the shifter on sport. Putting it in sport will put me to the correct gear so I just stomp on it and shift right back to D? Or how do I get into the right gear before smashing it do I tap the paddle shifter or throttle ? Sorry I’m new to this
Put it in S, shift to the right gear with paddles. Floor it then slide back in drive
Typically 3-4 if around 50 and 60 roll and 2-3 if around 40 roll.
So with track mode it would still shift manually?
I used to think only sport+ shifted manually
Watch the video. It’s only manual if the shifter is in S and you activate a paddle. Drive mode has nothing to do with it
In S mode with the paddles Can I down Shift While Driving Will It Lock At 3 or 4th Gear At A Red Light And Go From 3-4 ??
I do not understand your question
I don't know if you are still wondering, but from 0, the highest gear you can launch from is 2nd. Its slightly slower, but you can run it all the way to 40 or so. Fun party trick but in all reality, your better just running first deep and shifting.
@@loganpergola thanks I was super unaware months ago now reading this 😬 boy I sound dum but now I know and understand my GT thanks for not killing me over my comment and actually giving advice 💯
Thanks bro❤️👍
You’re welcome!
Can you please tell me how to downshift or when to downshift???
Not sure how to explain that.. you're better off just leaving it in automatic mode if you're that confused.
Need a tutorial for an 2016 eco boost mustang
It’s pretty much the same process
when u push the transmission from s to d do u press the button or just slide it to d ? i am really scared to do this to my car
Just slide it. Don’t manhandle it because you might accidently go into neutral. It doesn’t harm anything but it makes you look dumb 😂
Lol
Hi I have a Base model 2018 mustang GT and I drove it in the Sport mode today by accident and I Really enjoyed it cuz the car got Louder but noticed the car struggled to accelerate and I wasnt using paddle shifters How Come it was struggling to accelerate when I stepped on the gas? Thanks
I’m confused.. it shouldn’t be struggling to accelerate?
@@JVette01 It Just feels like the gears are tighter on the car and it accelerates a tiny bit slower then when it is in Normal Drive Mode.
What do you mean by tighter? The shifts firm up in sport mode and the throttle response is better so it shouldn’t feel slower.
@@JVette01 Maybe its just me Not being used to driving the car in Sport mode? But I Do feel a diiference right away, Its More Fun in Sport mode! It doesnt harm the car if I drive it in Sport mode and Dont use my paddle shifters?
You can drive in sport mode without using paddles no problem.
Thank you
So in S mode I still need to shift up with the paddle shifters?? or does it shift automatically each time without me doing anything
It shifts automatically until you activate one of the paddles. Then it is in manual mode.
@JVette01 Thank-you I just got my 18 today I'm thinking I have to use the paddles in s gear to make it work. So really I can pull off from 0 in s gear with no problem and it'll do its Thang
Yes
What happens if you change modes or flip the toggles while driving? So normal to sport while pushing the gas?
You’ll feel the difference in throttle response and the transmission will most likely downshift.
@@JVette01 so it’s not dangerous for the transmission or anything?
No
Hey bro so today I was using the paddle shifters in sports + / sport mode and I switched the gear shifter to drive to cut them back off is that how your suppose to do it?
Cause I wanted to drive without them in drag mode and when I smacked the gas I got to about 143 the whole screen flashed car redlined turned off like it skipped a gear and malfunctioned wouldn’t let me get out of 6th gear or go above 60mph and the oil light came on
But then I cut the car off and back on and everything was completely fine.
If the gear shifter is in D, then it will be automatic. If the gear shifter is in S and you activate a paddle, it will be full manual mode. Drive mode doesn't matter for the paddles.
So drive mode you can’t activate the paddles ?
Hm I’m wondering if that’s how I almost messed up I didn’t know that I thought If it’s in sport gear with sports mode plus you got the most power so sport only means paddle shifters ? So drive / sport gear is the same power and the modes is what makes the difference ?
Which I don’t really see a point in using drag mode with paddles
@@JVette01hey bro does s gear instead of d gear make a difference add with any of sport,sport plus, drag, track modes without using the paddles and keeping in automatic ? Like for racing
So when ur on D n use paddle shifter let’s say for like racing it will upshift by itself??
Yes, but it's best to use the method I showed, especially if you have an EcoBoost. If it shifts at redline, it would be shifting out of the powerband.
@@JVette01 I have a 5.0
Still use the method I showed in the video.
With the transmission in “S” when you downshift to your desired gear instead of putting it back in drive you can just hold the up shift paddle for 2 seconds and it’ll start shifting on its own again.
Correct!
So I went for a drive after I seen this video, and if you are in “s” and you let of the gas and hold the downshift it will put you in the right gear to start your roll as well.
I know camaro and challenger automatics do that but I don’t think the mustang does. I’ll double check later
It does just press and hold the paddle down, while the transmission is in S mode. I didn’t think the mustangs did it either but I’ve got a 21 GT and it works for me.
Can you help me, when I put my gear selector in S mode, it now stays in whatever driving mode I have manually selected S+ etc or Normal, it used to work, now nothing changes when shifting down into S?
Can you put the gear on sport and use the sport mode at the same time ?
Yeah
Does it make it faster than let’s say just using either one ?
Do you have to manually shift when in sport/drag/track mode or does it shift automatically in any of those modes ?
Also, do you have to shift the stick to S when driving in those more aggressive modes ?
Sorry, I’m new to Mustangs. I just bought a 2022 GT Premium and I know it’s under warranty but I don’t wanna mess up anything.
Please advise. Thanks!
No. You're only in manual shift if the shifter is in S and you activate a paddle. Otherwise it's always in automatic no matter the drive mode.
@@JVette01 Thanks!
@@JVette01almost correct. In D, it’s automatic. You can override the auto with the paddles, but it is temporary. In D, the car will go back to auto in a few seconds. In s, it’s in auto until you touch the paddles. Then it’s in manual until you go back to D. This is true in all the modes.
I have a 2021 Ecoboost, I’ve been wondering what all this means because the manual doesn’t really explain this stuff lol.
I saw a different video where the guy is driving it in D and then pulls the joystick into S and it goes from 10 to 7, I never really saw him use the paddle shifters tho. Do I have to use the paddle shifters if I drive like this? Will I mess up my car?
You can drive in D or S without using them no problem
The transmission does not shift the same in track mode! I put my shifter in S and car in track mode floored in first gear and it would not shift automatically !!
The only reason it wouldn’t shift automatically is because you activated one of the paddles
So it’s okay to have the transmission in “S” mode without using the paddle shifters, correct? The car will still automatically shift?
yes
@@JVette01 Appreciate the response bro! One of the better vids that explains the driving modes in the mustang.
You’re welcome! There’s a lot of confusion surrounding them so I wanted to make this video.
This just answered my question lol
Sometime mine doesn’t shift . Is it because traction control ? I don’t have sport + just S
I literally loled at crowd killer mode
What about in base 2019 gt?
Then you don’t have drive modes
thanks a lot
If you put your car on Drive and select the sport+ mode, would you have to use the paddle shifters or would it automatically do it for you?
You don’t have to use the paddles at all.
@@JVette01 Appreciate it boss!
You’re welcome
It’s like he said sport+ on the select button is basically auto and sport on the gearshifter is manual
Is the 21 Premium GT the only Mustang with Sport+ ? Or does the Basic Mustang GT have Sport+ as well?
Only if it has drive modes. Sport and sport plus drive the same though.
So shifting to S do you have to use the paddle shifters or no? I mean can you drive in S an not use the paddles?
You don’t have to use paddles when in S.
@@JVette01 Nice lol thats good to know thanks man an hell yeah sweet video keep making i have a 2016 ecoboost
Awesome! You should check out my EcoBoost playlist!
@@JVette01 Oh right on thank you
Great video answered most of my questions and your replies answered some more. I drive a automatic 2016 Mustang GT, and I wondered if I select (sport+ or track) and put it in sport on the shifter do i need to use the panal shifters or is it going to be going through gears automatically?
Thanks!
It will go through them automatically unless you activate the paddles while in sport on the shifter
@@JVette01 appreciate it that's what I thought
Mi Mustang exploto me dicen que fue por qué no pase las marchas en el modo S
¿Puede explotar por eso?
como djio en el video si estas en modo s, no s+, si cambias con el paddle shift se vuelve manual mode hasta que lo pongas en d nuevamente, entonces no va a cambiar automaticamente al segundo o tercero hasta que tu lo hagas manualmente, probablemente le jalaste todo el gas y se quedo atascado en 1, se ahogo basicamente
@@dyske8730so basically to understand more clearly. If i put it in sport mode and drive normally it will shift fine. But if I put it in sport+ and start out using the paddle shifters on the steering wheel and don’t shift properly an don’t put the car back in drive the car will have issues basically????
Just got one and im curious 🤨 and response would be much appreciated!!!
@@drewilson2520 here. Sport mode ( s in gear) would shift automatically UNTIL you touch the paddle shifts. Once you do that, it won’t shift automatically. You gotta hold + so it can go back to automatic shift. Sport mode it’s more aggressive in my opinion. If you mess with your paddle shifts while in sport + it would go back to automatic shifting, after going certain RPMS ( 5 or 6k rpm I believe)IM MOT SURE OF THIS LAST ENTIRELY. I always do pulls in sport( S) and go back to D after I’m done having fun. Just careful with the paddle shifts. Changing between d to s and back it won’t hurt nothing.
@@dyske8730 thanks a lot I will be trying this on my 19 mustang eco 🫲🏽👊🏽
I have a base 21 , so when I’m in S on a 40’roll and put back into D I can quickly put back to S for it can shift faster since I don’t have drag mode how u mentioned?:0
You can. Or you can just leave it in drive. I have a base GT and normal mode shifts good too
I wouldnt, could harm the trans long term if you keep switching back and forth too quickly. Id leave it in S for roll racing
It doesn’t do anything to the trans lol it will be fine.
@@JVette01 so while I have my foot on the gas, I can just switch to D? Or do I let off the gas then put it in D?
You can just put it in D.
Handy tip there man, thanks. I specifically came across this video looking for a way to force the downshift for a roll but then letting automatic take over for the rest of it. With 716 whp it would be impossible to hold down the upshift paddle fast enough before the next gear change needs to happen and manually up shifting is just embarrassing how slow it is to respond. Keep up the good work. 👍
I'm planning this may to get a ecoboost 2018 or 2015 ecoboost. But I have a 2004 v6 3.9l deluxe mustang
So If I’m looking for the fastest 0-60 time on a open road (not a track) should I put it in drag strip mode? Or track mode with the traction control off?
Drag strip with traction off. However a lot depends on your traction. Sometimes drag mode can be counterproductive if your traction is bad.
@@JVette01 I’ll try that, I did a 6.3 on my first try with the performance package eco which I thought was rather slow, but I don’t think I launched correctly at all, also not sure what gas is in it, since it still has the tank from the dealership
@@JVette01 update, got a 5.4
Nice! Which mode?
@@JVette01 dragstrip, traction off like you said 👍
Is the process the same as a GT?
Yes
Correct me if I’m wrong but wouldnt going from S to D damage the transmission?
Nope
Crowd Killer Mode 😂😂😂
It is 😂😂
I was in my mustang and the engine exploded, they told me it was because I didn't pass the gears in sport mode
That makes perfect sense
what does he mean by he "didnt pass the gears in sport mode"?@@JVette01
I have no clue. My comment was sarcasm.
Don't forget guys the R is for race mode Don't forget
Exactly! I recommend shifting to R while going 60mph.
@@JVette01 I recommend it when doin a dig also
@@rafaelortiz127 That too
@@rafaelortiz127 y’all gone get somebody killed bro 🤣
Mines tunes better on paddle shift 🙊😹
Eco boost.....ehhh
You want to explain the difference between transmission "S" and S/S+ drive mode, but you don't really explain it.
4:12 you are saying that transmission "S" makes "transmission aggressive and throttle response aggressive". First, what is "aggressive", is it different shift points or shift speeds or something else? Second, transmission "S" doesn't have effect on throttle response, drive mode "S" does. Drive mode "S" enables as you shift into transmission "S"
4:25 you are saying "going into drive mode "S" (not transmission "S") makes it so that everything is in sport mode". What do you mean by "everything"? Magneride? Your car might not have it. Active exhaust? Same. Suspension? Doesn't change on Mustangs. Shift points/speeds? No, because shifter is in "D". So what really changes? You just avoid explaining. Purpose of the video would be to actually explain that
4:44 you are saing "S drive mode changes everything associated with the car as well (in addition to transmission and throttle response)" - no, if shifter is in D, drive mode S doesn't affect transmission (obviously, otherwise drive mode S and shifter S would be doing the same thing, there would be no difference between using drive mode S and shifter S)
5:17 it will downshift for you in manual S mode if your RPM is low enough to risk engine stalling
7:05 you are "roll racing" but shifting back in D to enable automatic shifting I suppose. You want to race in S, not in D. By switching back to D you are cutting your performance, which is the opposite of what you do during a race
You are very confused. Rewatch the video and listen carefully.
I'm not 100% comfortable hearing this from a ecoboost owner.
??
@JVette01 as a GT owner I have to roast the ecoboosts, its the law.
I have a GT now and I completely respect EcoBoosts
@JVette01 I don't make the rules I just follow them.
I’m a 5.0 owner and never heard it be the law to roast ecoboosts 😵💫
