Just wanted to check with all, is ~ 5000 rpm the normal shift point in each gear when floored (short shifting)? I tried in sport and normal and it's the same. Didn't try with traction control on or off, I'll double check that. I know for manual mode you can shift whenever and bounce off the rev limiter.
I know, I know, these engines arent designed for top end HP and torque, so above 5000 rpm is diminishing returns, but I want to make sure my 2018 CX-9 Sig is performing correctly. So would appreciate it if someone could confirm.
Interesting thing I discovered, but probably everyone knows. In manual mode WITH TRACTION CONTROL off, the tranny won't downshift even if you floor it past the kick down in the pedal, like it will in manual mode with everything set to normal. So even more "manual like" than simple manual mode.
