Hi Ya'll,
I was just checking out another forum, (I know, I know, why bother...lol) and found this item:
"Auto trans shift trick: Gary Howell wrote: Chrysler on the 4 speed autos prior to the PT had a safety that would shift them even locked in low 1 through the gears, but the shift points in low one were around 6300 RPMs. That is a trick the NHRA drag guys in stock classes were doing with the 4 speed autos. I doubt they have eliminated the safety, so it should still work with the PT. I would try it myself, but mine is a 5 speed. The stock rev limiter is at 6500 RPMs, so you should know if it will work before you get to the rev limiter and not hurt anything."
Anyone know anything about this? I'm not brave enough to try it out fer meself! [

When I floor it and keep it there from a stop, I don't even know what speed I'd be going when the tranny shifts into 4th! I always let up before I reach that point. Mine seems to shift right at the 6000 rpm mark. I've seen post saying some peak at around 5500 before it shifts. Maybe I'm just lucky.
I don't race, I don't show off (much), but I love my PT. Most fun car I've ever owned. I love the fact that even at 70mph, you can floor it, and it'll still take off like a bat outta hell! It would wipe the floor with my old 84 Dodge Shelby Charger. Least it feels that way to me now.
Just curious what speeds at the shift points others are hitting. [:I]
