Kind of hard to watch accurately... :) I got to looking at those tech specs (on my website by the way) and converted the km/h to mph: For MY1987 and MY1989 - (full throttle with kickdown switch on, selector in "D") 1987 1989 1-2 upshift 38.5-42.2 36.6-37.9 1-2 upshift* 42.8-46.6 36.6-37.9 2-3 upshift 78.3-88.8 76.4-77.6 3-4 upshift 128.6-134.2 119.3-121.1 *with selector in "2" For downshifting, the way I read this is that you have to be at or below these speeds: (full throttle with kickdown switch on, selector in "D") 1987 1989 2-1 downshift 27.9-24.2 29.8-26.7 3-2 downshift 75.8-65.8 74.5-65.2 4-3 downshift 126.1-113.7 115.5-103.7 I know you 5-speed owners are jealous of our perfect shifts.

My '88 automatic tranny (which Brendan could have had...) full-throttle shifts are at 51-52 mph at close to 6000 rpm. wk From: Jim Bailey [mailto:jim@928intl.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 26, 2003 2:58 PM To: 928 Subject: [928] RE: a/t 1-2 shift More information than most should ever have ..... with the trans oil pan removed you can access a socket head bolt (allen) on the front of the valve body (look for a small flat plate with three slotted screws ) turning the bolt clockwise makes full load up shifts sooner..counterclockwise later . This normally is done after all the other adjustments have been checked . Jim Bailey 928 International Jim@928intl.com www.928intl.com (714)632-9288 -
