Tried mine out yesterday. Set it for 4500 and dumped the clutch. Had Traction in Sport lock so it spun a little then grabbed. Only issue is when I was moving it stopped revving past 4500. Seems like it set the rev limiter at 4500 for the next shifts as well. Felt like I had to short shift. Would have been embarrassing if I was racing. Didn't want to play around too much and experiment more. Is it supposed to work like that, or should I have full redline with clutch out after launch?

The way I read it is that you have to be in Track mode for it to work. You should be able to set your RPM's and depress your accelerator to the floor and your RPM's won't go past that designated RPM. That is the way that I read the book but I have gone to track mode and set my RPM's but it doesn't work so I'm doing something wrong or I'm not understanding it correctly.

You do NOT have to be in track mode. any mode it will work. have to make sure the check box on the menu is checked, rpm set, and engine temp to 180. then an "LC" will appear on the lower right of the screen, or "RPM" if traction control is turned off. also the clutch must be pushed in completely, cant "test" it without pushing in the clutch.
