The trans shifts at redline when the pedal is floored? That's what mine
does. This is supposed to be a "problem"? I thought that's what it was
supposed to do. If it's not all the way to the floor, it shifts before
redline. Put the pedal to the metal and it shifts *at* redline. If this is
a problem, I like it :)
