Re: Auto shifts too early?! 700 1986

posted by  someone claiming to be Stefan on  Tue Dec 5 03:24 CST 2000 [RELATED]

I just mash the pedal to the floor and don't let up - i shift manually from 1 to 2 to d when i want the power - i usually shift by 5500 rpms. not much more up there like the other guys said. as for the life of the tranny, i wouldn't worry about it, as i have 264,000 miles on mine with synthetic fluid in it. it drives like a dream still. :)

happy shifting!

Stefan
