Re: Shifting Question

Shift point totally depend on driving conditions (ect, tft, map, maf) along with how hard your punching the gas.

What issues are you having?

Re: Shifting Question

There are no set shift points. They will vary depending on throttle position and load. The PCM sets shift points to keep the engine at optimum RPM for the given circumstance. If you're accelerating mildly, the trans may shift into the next gear as early as 2,000 rpm. If you're foot is on the floor, it can delay shifts to as late as 5,800-6,000 rpm.

Re: Shifting Question

no real set "shift points" general rule of thumb is under a moderate throttle, the car should shift somewhere in between 2-2500 RPM's
