Tuning. Manual Hold 1st gear question.
I'm new to tuning and I'm currently playing with my trans tuning. I was just looking through different parameters in Tunerpro and came across these 2.
My car is a Holden Monaro(same as 04 GTO) LS1, 4l60e with a P01 pcm.
Manual Hold Gear, 1st, 1->2 Shift Speeds
and
Manual Hold Gear, 1st, 2->3 Shift Speeds
My question is, can I program these so that if I select 1st gear and leave it there, it will change into 1stand then 2nd at the selected speeds?
The reason I ask is because I have trouble at the drags maintaining traction when I launch, and it always changes into 2nd when I ease off to gain traction. This kills my run every time it happens. I figure if this setting does what it looks like it should, I can select 1st and let the gearbox do it thing and change gear when it hits the selected speeds in each gear.
Thanks

Update.
Manual hold 2nd won't change into third no matter the speed I set it to. I'm assuming I don't actually have this option even though it shows up in tunerpro.
Does anyone have any ideas if I can actually achieve this without modifying my normal or performance setiings?
