I must say that the OD shift is annoying, as mine shifts at around 45 even
if I'm at 2/3 to 3/4 throttle, just killing any acceleration. I either have
to nail it, or use the button...

least get the thing reprogrammed)

WOW! that's totally different from mine. i adjusted half an inch and now i
enjoy firmer shifts and longer holds on gears.. the OD doesn't kick on
during normal acceleration until about 45, 50.. and it takes a while to
tweak into it.. (but all the other gears are firm between shifts?!?!?)
