    Thought I heard somewhere that our transmissions responded to a cable on the throttle body (when to shift down and whatever) anyone able to shed some light on this? Is there a cable or is the transmission ecu controlled? Could save me some money down the road. Alternatively ill go look later haha

    Our trans is a 4L30E...E=electronically controlled.

    You must be thinking of that Rambler you had in high school.....

    The power mode button on the center console raises the shift points & allows the trans to shift down to a lower gear more quickly than when in "normal" mode.

    On the other side of the coin...there IS a cable that controls the throttle body...it's connected to the skinny pedal on the right side of the drivers side foot well...

    And PLEASE...don't take anything I've just said personally, (specially tha "Rambler" comment) I'm a known incurable wisenheimer/ninnyhammer...

    Considering our OP is at the ripe old age of 22 it's more likely that his high school days included something of the Honda variety.

    Oh to be 22 again, if for nothing else but to make the same mistakes all over again and enjoy doing it.

    LOL...I hadn't considered the age factor....

    O-T, I know, BUT...I'd settle for being 30something again.
    My twennyz would prolly kill me the second time around.

    I think the more dangerous thing for me personally would be doing it all over again with the knowledge that it turned out okay anyway - something tells me I'd be tempted to push the envelope even farther!
