Switching from shift mode to drive mode
I just bought a 2014 SR5. Can you switch from shift mode to drive mode (and visa versa) while moving, say at 50 mph? Or, must you come to a stop before switching? First time I've had this type transmission. Thanks for your help.

You can shift in and out at any time the transmission defaults to 4th gear so it will not damage the engine.

Ye no problems there. When you switch to the sport mode it automatically shifts to 4th and vice versa.

I thought it was for Sequential shift mode, but I don't have the manual handy right now.

No sir. It stands for Sport Mode. For those who want a little more control of their shift points.

Yes. We got another wonderful 4" of the white stuff last night with ice underneath. I use sport mode almost exclusively in these conditions. It has become an automatic reaction to switch right after moving the other lever to 4HI.

I know everyone on these boards calls it Sport mode, but IIRC that verbiage is nowhere to be found in the manual.

Well that's what the dealer called it in my Tundra, so that's what I'm sticking with. But you're right, Manuel only say's "S" Mode. Probably some lawyer made them take the Sport term out to prevent lawsuits. Dang fun killing lawyers......
And yes, I typed Manuel.

So the "S" stands for "Spanish" then?

Long story. "Manuel says" is an old quote from an HBO movie about the Russian Olympic baseball team. It refers to the Cuban Army Manual of Baseball Operations. The Russian political officer kept countering the American manager they had hired with "But Manuel says". When the American finally got fed up and demanded to meet this Manuel the officer produced the book. So now anytime I hear a reference to a manual I always fall back on Manuel says.

When cruising on the highway I like to put it in Race mode (R) to impress the chicks.

And as we all know, dealers are known for their precise technical knowledge of the vehicles they sell.

I've gotten in the habit of putting it in "sport mode" everytime I start moving that way its not always hunting between 4th and 5th around town. Don't see the need for 5th gear when I'm going 35.
