Its all about MPG, the faster you get the RPM’s down the better your MPG… This is the same reason they had the “Skip Shift” on the 6-speed manual trans that would force you into 4th from 1st if not under heavy load… Getting the MPG up on the sticker is VITAL to being able to sell a car like the SS Camaro. Why?? one word CAFE (corporate avg fuel economy)… Basically by federal law, the AVG MPG of every car/truck GM makes MUST be at least (X) or they get fined very heavily… EVERY MPG counts… Sounds like your trans is perfectly normal.
