... Don't worry about it. The 7AT won't let you downshift past the rev limiter.

I get those occasional delays when downshifting too, VERY annoying. Luckily upshifts are never delayed, THAT would suck.

I've bounced off the rev limiter a few times. Well, you don't really bounce off of it. I don't really see it as something to be concerned about, the rev limiter seems to be set pretty conservatively. When I was on the track, I was pretty much shifting at the limit for every shift. Even on the street I shift at red line a few times a week.

That makes me feel a whole lot better. Thanks.

It also won't "queue" up a downshift if the downshift would be past the rev limiter, it simply ignores it. Of course you still might get the delay which will queue up multiple downshifts if none of them will cause a shift to hit the rev limiter.

I'd love to know what that "problem" is, and if a tune can fix it. I know my tune from Uprev didn't change that at all.

Yea i have no idea if you can fix it....

i just like downshifting a gear before i accelerate so i can hit the 4500 rpm range, thus getting rid of the acceleration "delay" present when accelerating in auto mode...

however yesterday i double down shifted which i assumed couldnt be good....
