    Hi

    I checked other threads on 'redline' and 'rev limiter' but not seen this before.

    I upgraded the TCU from a 2000 360 to the latest version. In doing so the following has changed.

    Old TCU: as soon as the needle _touched_ 8500 rpm the F1 would shift up smoothly without any problems. You would not even know you had not pulled the paddle yourself.
    New TCU: the needle goes _past_ 8500 by a small amount (maybe one or two hundred rpm), enough for the rev limiter to cut in obtrusively and upset the smooth upshift.

    Incidentally I noticed the same problem on a 2003 F1 Spider.

    Question is, is there a setting to tell the new TCU to change up at _exactly_ 8500 rpm? Or do I need to go back to the old TCU?

    not a good idea to let the engine bounce of the rev limiter best use the right paddle earlier... all other aspects of the update should out weigh this small inconvenience

    Completely agree. But with the old TCU the engine never even got near the rev limiter.
