I know exactly what your saying but the box changes for it's self at the redline. My biggest annoyance with the autostick system is the auto can't be switched off, redline and it changes, slow to a stop in 4th and start again and it changed down - also it's a little slow so when you try to change, near the redline the box is sometime doing the same thing and instead of 2nd to 3rd it goes all the way to 4th - hence the "out of wack" feeling midnightman quoted?

It is great for setting up corners etc on a downshift - I love the feeling when I drop into 3rd at 60 MPH and accelerate, but now when the pedal is all the way down I let the upshift change at the redline!
