Yeah, I kinda did the same. The 98 T5's feel much weaker at the bottom end than the 850's (was improved for 99-2000 models)...but are noticeably stronger at the top end. Always bugged me.papariccardo wrote:That's how I drive it, with a tiny back-off the "jandal" when I want it to shift, which tends to bring the shift in then. It just seems higher than any of my 850 T5s - although they have peak torque at lower RPMs, that probably is why. Thanks for the useful advice guys!
The nice things about these automatics is that you can kinda MAKE it shift...or predict when it's going to. Good luck with that in one of these new "adaptive" learning automatics on the market today...they pretty much do whatever they want.
