An included toggle switch allows you to switch between auto mode and manual mode. With all of the controllers, you MUST have a rev limiter--just like a manual. The only exception is that the TCI controller will automatically reset to 1st gear if you come to a complete stop. Otherwise, manual is manual.
The PCS controller, on the other hand, has two manual modes: Simple and True Manual. True manual is just as its name suggests--it will not shift for you under any circumstances. Simple manual will override if it feels you are making a mistake. I never ever use simple manual as I feel it is too intrusive.
I recommend controllers on a case by case basis. The TCI is easier to install and setup--and I really like that 1st gear restart feature. The PCs controller is very sophisticated and therefore harder to install and setup. But it offers more comprehensive tuning control. It lacks the cool 1st gear restart feature. It also costs more. It boils down to easy (TCI) or comprehensive (PCS).
