When I had my Commodore tuned they set the speed to "exact" so 60 is 60, 110 is 110.

On a couple of AU Falcons I've played with and had transmission issues I found that:

One would start and drive normally when cold. Whether I drove 10-15 minutes to the local pub or forty minutes to town. Stop the vehicle for a period of time and it would go into limp mode. Third gear only on restart.
I put a scan tool on it which showed live data. The solenoid valves weren't operating.
I pulled the round input plugs off the trans. cleaned out all the debris and that fixed it.

The second issue was a constant change from third to forth and back (constantly) when cruising at about 90km/h. The scan tool showed tps out of range. Changed that and problem gone.

Both these vehicles are six cylinder models with a smaller but similar trans.

I know this isn't your issue but it might help you a bit.

It's actually starting of in second and shifting roughly to third. In the donor car it also shifted roughly to third. I changed one of the solenoids. I can't remember which one. It won't accept a scan tool. Only by connecting 2 pins together will it show a flashing code on the dash which is now not there. I think I have had trouble selling the car mainly because it's a Auto. I also want a manual now. As I'm moving to a better place I might drive it more.

we im hoping i dont have any of the problems you have had with your auto. i am hoping the 6 speed auto with tiptronic should shift faster up and down than you guys with a stick . time will tell..mind you i have no choice my lower left leg hardly works or moves so i had no say it it really auto or nothing im afraid ..

An auto is definitely quicker off the line, my old car was awesome when you were giving it stick, but was a but dull on the street.
