Thanks John.
Mine being JDM, I can select POWER from the console. This raises the upshift points in the rev range, and "fixes" the problem to an extent in the lower 3 gears.
My beef is with top or 4th. Any speed over 60, indeed over 50, it tends to want to stay in top and use the torque convertor, rather than change down and move on. I suspect this is programmed into the TCU, for smoothness and economy. No doubt Subaru probably [rightly?
] figured that press-on drivers would buy a WRX manual, not an SVX.
What I am asking is, at a steady 70 say in top, and without lockup, how many revs will the torque convertor absorb when the car is asked to quicken up?
Joe
