Question about 7AT Downshift Rev Matching

NXTAZEE

Not true. Put it in D and count as the gears shift all the way up to 7.

You are right ZEE but do you see a difference in the rpm from manual to D mode? Seems like the D mode runs a little higher rpm!

I haven't paid that much attention to it. Next time I'm out on the highway I'll check it out.

eh?

D is always at the minimum of 1500 rpm when in gear most of time its in a gear I cant get into with M since its just at the limit

There is a difference. I've noticed it....MOSTLY when cruising around - D is more aggressive at shifting to a lower gear at a given speed - for example if you're doing 30MPH, it'll drop into 6th, where in manual mode it won't let you go above 5th gear.

That's an example not based on actual data - but relevant as I've tested it. I just don't remember the numbers...
