No service manuals out yet. You can buy the service manual that the dealers use, but that costs over $100.
In Wyoming (6000+ ft.) a month ago I noticed how much weaker the engine felt. Gas mileage was still good, despite revving it more to have similar acceleration compared to sea level altitude. Not changing the throttle position going up hills will slow you down, but won't make the engine inject more fuel. I always try to imagine the 50% gas pedal position is my practical 100% position, and anything beyond that is "emergency" or "freeway merging" power. That ususally changes my driving attitude quite a bit. Not sure how well that would work with a slush box.
On a different note: Compared the gear ratios of the gear boxes and final drives. They seem quite different, and I wondered what your revs in top gear are at a comparable speed, say 60 mph?
