    Thanks for all the replies.

    Paul, should you get the opportunity to provide some BCM access, I think many would use it.
    Did you see the comment about T43 {D1005} and {D1006}?

    I had problems with the "Hot" settings cutting in with the limiter, I have been reluctant to change these to much, a) because of the issue above and b) it is a 'box safety setting. But even with these set lower I still had the downshift.

    What triggers the "HOT" override settings, is it TFT?

    I've had a look at your adjustments, I see what you getting at. The stock tune and HSV tune has the normal settings close to the b settings rather than the a settings, but the normal profile doesn't seem to be a setting used on the road, just a and b.

    I haven't had a chance to check it yet as I've busted a rear 20" alloy and need a full set of new boots.
    Also, can't really just pop out and test at 130+.

    Hopefully, I'll get a chance next weekend.

    Lots in the UK use Oztrack for tuning, but none have tried their A6 tune yet, I'll drop them a line and see what they've got!

    I'll keep you informed of progress, it's probably something simple that I've missed but it still shouldn't occur in manual mode.

    Keep the sugestions coming, I'm still a newbie and learning all the time and being an old(er) dog, new tricks are harder to learn.

    Cheers

    after some testing of my own and multiple flashes to the ecu and tcm with maxxed out speed limit's. i have found that my car has the same problem when it hits 243kph (150mph).

    with the convertor locked and even at part throttle i hit a timing cut from fark knows where. possibly from B5153 or B5157.

    see screenshot below where it commands -10 degrees. Also my 6th gear is locked out over 220kph. even if im in 6th apon acceleration the transmission will automaticaly downshift into 5th.

    I'm starting to think there is a module restricting the speed. I've even gone as far as to tell the ecu tune that the speed cut is referenced from the ECU itself instead of Other Module.

    I noticed my tranny has started kicking back to 5th once over 220kph even when in TUTD mode. It used to stay in 6th manually up to the limiter

    I will go back through my tunes and see what has changed. I think it may have something to do with turning TM off???

    yeah i think it might be to do with tm & the torque convertor protection values.

    i made some changes to these area's but havent had a chance to test yet.

    the reason why i think it's a tcc issue is that it is the only area that has a fuel cut set for protection, and all my rev limit stuff is done via timing or throttle.

    I haven't changed anything in the tranny apart from the TM setting for upshifts. I have a Oztrack tune in the box so haven't messed with it too much.

    Hi,
    has anybody tried to use an Vette based OS 24243170 instead of a Camaro based OS 24249179 to solve this T43 downshift issue?
    Kind regards
    Marco

    Have you checked your ECM torque and engine protection settings?
