I continue to be impressed by the precision given on these forums.
I would like to ask a question regarding transmission downshift during WOT. I have a 94 with the electronic automatic, running a 2.59 gear.

WOT at 45-55-65-70 mph will not drop me to second gear. I can manually downshift.

How can this be? OD comes in at @48mph, and I will drop down to 3rd with minimal acceleration, but NEVER second. Since there is no longer a TV cable on this tranny, I have no idea what to adjust, or if there is actually a problem. Just seems to me it should kick down into second. At 50 mph, I am turning 3k rpm if I manually shift it into second, right in the middle of the torque curve.

Is this normal programming, or is it troubleshooting time?

:confused:

I've got the same set up as you and I'm no tranny expert but my tranny does down shift unlike yours. I did install a Trans-go shift kit as well as a tranns cooler. I had mine repaired after I blew it up on the track. I've added extra clutches and Kevlar bands to beef it up. The bottom line is I think your in for some troubleshooting like you said. Good luck.
