as a comparason 70 mph has my rev counter sat at just under 3000 rpm and 80 is about 3250rpm

if it does change into top it is normally done at between 45/50mph

These figures sound about right to me, the movement you can feel at 45-50mph is the box locking down to eliminate slip.

Unless you get decent software on the box, which eliminates that horrid 50mph lockup.

 Hi TB, I have had my autobox software updated and I don't have a problem now with the lockup. However it sounds to me that jay w is getting the four gears, some people think that if it only changes three times you only have three gears, they forget that you start off in 1st plus three changes makes four. I'm not saying this is case in jay w's post, but it does happen. The rev range seems to indicate that the car is in 4th gear.
