I think the computer's programming is poor since the transmission is mechanically capable of redlining the engine at any speed of 36 MPH or more since its lowest ratio is 2.49 with a final drive of 5.81. I don't know why its programmed to start upshifting before the engine reaches its power peak with the throttle wide open, seems stupid to me. I wonder what it would do if put in L while driving at speed? Or floored from a stop in L?
