Once it locks up in top gear, it's more like a manual. 90-95 LOD is where it unlocks, so I can push it right up to that limit. (at least in my Ody)

This is good advice -- I'll have to keep an eye on the TC unlock vs. LOD. The throttle-shift cable is a bit tighter, so the LOD might be a bit lower. I'll try it tomorrow

I get there often too -- especially with the darn "Hill Logic Control". D3 overrides the 2-3 shift logic, but 4th is completely up to the computer.
In normal driving, I just lift, it shifts, and give it the gas. Sometimes the process is too quick and it engages a bit hard on the next gear up.
