Back on track:

Someone stated better shifts at 5K and above. Just got it out on the 5 in CA and shifts are MUCH smoother. I was having challenges from 1-2 but no longer; I was shifting too soon........ Going to turn off VDC today and see if I can break it loose and have fun. Have had the car 3 months now and its time.[/QUOTE]

OK, drove over the weekend and found a lot of areas I could test the shifting at without interference. Gears 1-2 seem to like 4K, 2-3 and on do well with around 3K unless you really want to move quickly in which case, 7K does VERY well.... Posting in case anyone cares...

Anyone else have any thoughts regarding shift RPMs?
