Keith: yes I would prefer to be able to mash the pedal and get a downshift. I have an electronic engine and therefore have a TPS (throttle position sensor) signal, it's just that Newell decided not to connect that signal to the Allison ECU (electronic control unit) so there is no way for the transmission to react based upon throttle position. The Allison shop stated the ECU would need reprogramming following connecting the signal otherwise it would just continue to ignore it. While reprogramming they could set the various shift points accordingly. I've found a diagram online showing the wiring, all I have to do is find them in the coach. My message here was to find out how common my current setup is and reactions by those that have it.
