What do you mean by "do it correctly"? My car has to go up to 47mi to downshift and I have the same 0.7 4th gear and 3.05 final drive.

Is there a chance GM changed the shift points on our ETM's? Minor change in the code I imagine and presto, lower shifts. If I only knew how to do it to mine...


What rpm's are you holding when it drops to 4th? It must be close to 1100 or so.
