Default shifting early in manual mode

Yesterday while autocrossing in manual mode, and today out and about, (also manual mode) I noticed the SRT shifting into 2nd around 3500 rpms. I thought, when in manual mode, that it wouldn't shift until red line, and that's how it's always behaved. It could be the Eurocharged Tune that changed the shifting points but I don't recall that happening at the previous 3 autocross events or other times I've put it in manual mode.
Any ideas? Is anyone elses SRT shifting early?

Hmm All i can add is on a roll 2nd changes to 3rd bit under 115ks but when i dig 3rd comes on between 80-90ks if i remember correctly. I have no idea why.. Im pretty sure my first red lines though

it isn't a true manual mode, it will shift when it wants to....try putting it in 1st, floor it, don't touch it again and see what happens....if you don't trust me, I will tell you what happens, it shifts through all the gears automatically

Yep, that's the problem
it's shifting from 1st to 2nd when it wants to, not at redline.
It used to always shift at redline, now it's going early.

Reset your pedal adaptations.....there is a how to somewhere on this site (I will try and find it). If that doesnt work, the TCU adaptations should be reset. But that can only be done with a StarDAS computer.

Reset your pedal adaptations.....there is a how to somewhere on this site (I will try and find it). I know it doesnt seem like a throttle issue but the drive-by-wire system and the TCU shift points do go hand in had when it comes to adaptations for driving styles. If that doesnt work, the TCU adaptations should be reset. But that can only be done with a StarDAS computer.

~edit~ Found the How-To
The Throttle is "Drive By Wire" and adapts to your particular driving
style. Do a TBA Throttle body adaptation.

1. Get in your car, it doesn't matter if you close the door or not.

2. Turn the key to the on (not start) position, the position just before the starter
turns over.

3. Press the gas pedal to the floor with the key in the "on" position.

4. Hold the pedal to the floor for five seconds, then turn the key back
to the "off" position (don't remove the key), then release the gas
pedal.

5. Wait 2 mins. for a full alignment.

6. Drive the car as you always do.

Depending on your driving style, this may or may not be a big factor. I do a lot of city driving so
I noticed a big change after erasing my history. It is not hard to do this, just follow the instructions -

Key on, pedal down, 5 sec, key off pedal up, wait 2 minutes.

Keep the key in for the entire thing.

If this doesn't work, disconnect your neg. battery cable for 20 minutes. This will re-set the parameters in the drive-by-wire... Unfortunately it will delete your pre-set radio stations, clock etc. as well...

Mine shifts at redline in manual mode. The only exception (happens a lot) is if the tire spin is excessive, then it will upshift to the next higher gear early. When this happens you will see the traction control light flashing first. (with it turned off, naturally) I found out what was happening from my data logs. So, go easier on the pedal or lower the tire pressure.

Mine did this to me a few times recently. It was right after i bounced it off the cuttoff. Whst casued this was i floored it from a 20 in first and it went from 4k to cuttoff so fast the transmission couldn't shift in time. Possibly some sort of adaptive feature in the computer?

Thanks guys, I'll try a throttle reset, and I'll also check wheelspin when launching.
