I notice when shifting from 6th into 7th at a low rpm the transmission will not lock right away. The reason I noticed it was when making the 6th to 7th shift the rpm would go up slightly if I get out of the throttle the rpm will drop back down 200rpm or so quickly like it is allowing for a little slip. I think it’s a stall feature to keep the rpm high enough for the gear you selected. Is this what you experienced?

However when I make an up shift at higher rpm say 4500 I get a much better lock in the transmission no slip. The higher the rpm when up shifting the harder the shift or transmission lock.
