Change up speeds

[stina]

Having a quick scan through new Driving Force mag i see an article on manual and auto boxes . The change up speed from 2nd to top (auto) on a light throttle is quoted as 43 mph . Surely that's way high :?:

Sounds way too high. Back in the Borg Warner era, under light throttle Brown Rover would assume that since you were moving, you required top gear, as soon as possible.
