    well thats just gayer than fruit loops.

    ok, so with a little more seriousness...

    plug a diagnostics unit in and see what the MAF, MAP and TPS are doing.

    (combined with some ECU derived data they give the same info as the kickdown/throttle pressure cable to the autos brain)

    P38s tend to go up the gears early, some one at the mental institution who wrote the original programing of theses things seemed to think that high gears low revs (regardless of engine labor) was better for economy. mine also changes early like yours but when i hold mine on the floor in sport mode mine also runs off the end of the tacho b4 it changes, 6250ish according to the hawkeye. the best thing to do if you want to change the way your auto changes is to get a programmable auto ecu and use a manual becm.

    or you could just let it run low on oil..... I wondered why mine would barely change below 2000, until I checked the level.....

    couldn't it just be driven around with the sports mode on?
