10r80 early upshift 6th-7th

[re-rx7]

Was out tonight on open road and noticed the car would shift quite early into 7th around 6500-6800rpm? Trans temp was in the low 190’s no lights or anything. Is this normal?

Pretty much.

Try it with advanced track off.

Will do. The prior gears shift on time and where they should. Just thought it was odd. This is no matter the drive mode as well.

Yup, it short shifts. I tried to manual shift the car and it hits a built in rev limiter in 6th gear around 6600-6800 RPM. No idea why Ford did this though because shifting into 7th kinda puts it out of the peak power.

I suspect it's because the 7th is the known fail point on higher hp cars for the trans. Load? Heat?

You could also be hitting the built in governor. What size tires do you have and what rear end gearing?
