Default auto transmission info

I need a little info from all the C4 auto transmission gurus out there...when you are cruising at about 45 MPH, if you go to WOT is that a 43-3 downshift or is that a 4-2 downshigt...any help on this would be really appreciated~

Thanks
Ken

At 45mph it should drop into 2nd gear.

To verify run up to 45mph in 2nd and check the tach; then hammer it while at 45mph in 4th and recheck the tack.

IF everything is adjusted well on the tranny and kickdown cable, it should kick down to 2nd around under 50mph (On mine at least).

I think the answer at 45 is 3rd or OD to 2nd.
I know the answer when I'm autocrossing a low speed course in 2nd that at 35 when I hit WOT on the last turn it downshifts to 1st :jester
Took me a while to get used to it.
