RPM question (automatic)
I have a quick question, while cruseing down the road going about a steady 45mph and in 6th gear (according to my gague display that shows my ave. MPG, ave speed, what gear im in ect...) in just D not "s" mode, and not in ECT. power.. I give my car prob not even a half of inch of gas my RPMs shoot up and go up about 1.5k and my gague computer display shows that I am still in 6th gear? I dont understand what this is because it sounds like its downshifting but really its just going up in RPM very fast and just staying in 6th gear. In every other car I havve driven if i am in automatic and give it a little gas it will just gradually go up in rpms and not just shoot up with staying in the same gear. WHY IS THIS?
