Cool. See I didn't know that. I just watched the rpm gauge and when it felt like it was shifting from say 4th to what I thought 5th the gauge would drop. I also have noticed that if you take off real slow and just ease up to say 70 and not get on it.... That the transmission changes from third to what I thought was fifth. I guess thats normal because every one that I've driven has done this. On ours I can make it use what I thought was 4th by accelerating harder right before it changes into the locked tc setting (or what I thought was 5th). I think if I was towing something heavy it would feel like it was shifting 5 times but as long as I'm only towing a 4 wheeler trailer it doesn't use it very much unless I'm climbing a big hill or something. Is that normal?
You said it was the only transmission that would withstand full throttle upshifts into all gears... What about the allison? Chevy claims to have the best transmission in a heavy duty truck. What's your opinion on that? I almost bought a chevy because of the Allison, Well, and the duramax but mostly the Allison. Just wondering if you've heard of any problems with those transmissions. I know alot of people that have them and like em but surely there are some issues that have arose.
