Is it that it is just to high in the rev range and a limiter cutting in or is this a known and fixable problem.

Thanks for any help

Chris its the 4 speed SSS auto and i drive it 100% in manual mode.
Hey Doc,

I notice that the auto's if you get them in an awkward situation road speed and RPM wise, putting the foot down causes a scenario where the car

wont kick down, and
doesn't have the torque to pull away.

I noticed this in particular when my car was relatively mild - the more grunt the more this is eliminated - there is a slightly different kickdown mode i use in the software that does make it a lot more liveable, but its just an unfortunate part of life with these wide ratio boxes.

Take care man.
