CT kick down from 6th to 3rd @ 60mph
One more thing I realized this weekend with the new DME upgrade about the kick-down...let me know if this works for you guys... I got it up to about 70mph and in 6th gear....I then let off the gas and slowed down to 60 and waited about 30 seconds. Still in 6th gear I put my foot at the top of the pedal and quickly slammed the hammer completely to the floor....the pepper instantly responded...and dropped down into 3rd gear....went its course briskly through the gears back up to 6th.... I then realized I was doing over 100mph and should probably slow down 
LOL I did this 3 times just for consistency and each time it was the same exact experience...although I kept the speed down in the subsequent attempts 
I am obviously very happy with this type of response from the CT, so this should be an example to those who are complaing about the tranny not dropping gears fast enough and people who think that it is not possible to drop 3 gears in one poke. If you don't experience this then you may have to get the fix done and or checked....Hope to hear if you guys see the same results!
