Hi all

Just a question with regards my 5 speed autobox. I find it quite annoying that the autobox does not shift into 5th until im doing above 45mph. is there anyway to get around this so it shifts into fifth sooner?

any help much appreciated.

thanks

It would be juddery and horrible, surely?
 
It's programmed to make the best use of the available torque. Shifting to 5th at low speeds would labour the engine and use more fuel.
