are you asking a question or just sayin? the PCM you got should have made the shifts faster. is there a vac leak somewhere? also the summer heat will make a huge difference on how the car responds. dont try to race anyone with 90* temps

downshift is either 3-1 or 4-2. The 40 mph downshift lag is common and often griped about.

No complaints here. Most other autos I drive seem delayed compared to the Riv.
