Mine seems to be shifting at the same point as before on WOT....about 6000-6200rpms.

Try stomping on it in first gear and bringing it all the way to redline and see if it will shift normally for you or hit your limiter.

I have and it still shifts before redline about the 6-6200K mark.......Everything seems to be normal with off the line shifts and downshifts when I floor it on the highway. Just this occasional problem.

You might've gotten 24 mpg on the way to work this morning, but comparing your regular driving from before the LSD to your regular driving now show result with you losing a couple mpg.
I guess in this case, we gotta consistently pay to play
but hey the
off the line would make up for a couple mpg anyday of the week IMO.EDIT:
I ran a search and came up with this for u. read the second page, others are documenting the mpg loss as well.

Well I have had 4 tanksfull so far so I know Im not losing 3-4 mpg......more like .5-1 mpg. I think I may had some bad gas with the bad mileage last tankful....
