Seems to me, if you're passing and punch the gas, if the speed is right, the tranny will automatically downshift - if it doesn't, you may be going too fast for it to be a wise thing to do.[:I]
Your right Don, it does downshift but it's an alfull jerk and burst of power that you get and that can't be good for the tranny. If I'm on a long stretch and know I'm going to pass and the PT isn't already up in the "power band", I'll ease it into 3rd so the revs come up and when it's time to pass I'll stomp on it and squeese whatever power is left in 3rd and shift it into overdrive when I reach redline.
