Geea,

Maybe what happened was,

Auto shift 1st to 2nd, then

Manual shift 2nd to 3rd,

but as you manually shifted, the auto shifted aswell? Thus as it was nearly exactly the same time there was a bit of confusion there so it was left in manual mode and then changed at what it thought was optimum to keep in the best power range.

Mind you this is just a thought, I am no transmission expert!

After talking to a few people I think your pretty close.

I was changing manually at 5600-5700 and the car was changing again alittle while latter that would have corresponded with when it would have changed 2-3 if I hadn't already done it.

I'm not sure if there is a fix as it's hard to replicate.

Geea,

I was thinking about the way you change gears. Obviously, you like to change different gears at different revs. Would it be possible to reprogram the transmission settings, so that it would change gears at the revs you require when at the drags. That way you would not have too change modes.

Just a thought. I don't know if it is possible or not.

It would be great if it could Tex. I dont think its possible with the Ford cpu though. It may be possible once the edit comes out but I'm not sure there either.

If I could set it to change at 5800rpm 1-2 and 5700rpm 2-3, I think that would be the optimum for my current tune.

Geea.

just change it manually craig all the way through you can do it

and yeah there is a converter lock up, it feels like extra gears, I feel it in 2nd and 3rd....
