maybe your overdrive is cicking in too early? Is there a special tranny in the Offroadster or is it just the traditional 4x4 727?

Two second gears are in the 45rfe trans behind the 4.7L's.
Could you be talking about the lock-up torque converter operation?
The converter unlocks and rpm's will climb a few hundred rpm. Controller tries this to maintain speed before downshifting trans to a lower gear.
