ZF shift points

[Mason1217]

Set the cruise to 45 today just to check mpg at that speed, but the trans wouldn't shift any higher than 6th gear? Only about 1500 rpm but I still wondered why at cruising speed it wouldn't go up to 7th or 8th? In case it gets asked, no the gear limit wasn't at 6, it was +8.

May need the engine speed to go MDS?

I didn't even notice if it did or not, I forgot to look I was just watching what gear it was in. I'll try it again and see if it comes on. It just seems odd, my 300S would always go to 8th at that speed. In that car though you could always just hit the plus paddle to go higher gear to drop rpm.
