: Shifting Issue?

The last two days I've noticed that occasionally when i go full throttle in manual sport mode the shifts lag like crazy (i.e. I'll click the paddle at 5500rpm and it won't actually shift until 6500!!!!!). Funny thing is, it is intermittent. As soon as I slow down it shifts quickly again. Is this normal?

Happens to me too, I think it's normal. For some reason at high rpms the ecu decides to hold it longer than you tell it to, no clue why.

It's weird b/c other days it shifts just fine... oh well... <shrug> as long as it's normal, that's cool! tks.

I thought the sst was designed to shift the car when it is best for the tranny not when the drive wants too.

maybe for downshifting... but for upshifting why would the ecu have to override the driver except at redline maybe...
