Hey guys, When I select command shift or sport mode, when accelerating I thought the auto gearbox would not change up gear until I pushed stick up for another gear, mine is atomaticaly changing up at 4000 rpm, is this standard, if it is, is there any way to change this so it revs higher.  2007 V8 HSE RRS STORNAWAY GREY

mine does the same so it must be standard, i have the same thoughts as you i would like it to rev more before it changes  Recently bought a 2007 RRS HSE TDV6 for a Pimp-My-Ride-Project.
DONE: Meduza front bumper, AB rear bumper, AB tailpipes, calipers repainted, rear upper tailgate upgrade, side steps, AB front grille, AB side vents, rear LED lights, clear side repeaters, integrated daytime running lights, LED headlights.
TO DO: color code sills and pillars.

not sure how command shift works, but with mine, (sure it is called steptronic/triptronic?) you push gearstick over to the left for sports, and thats automatic. If you want to change gears manually, pull back once for down a gear, push forward for up a gear. To get back into auto sports you have to put it into standard drive again, then back into sports and leave stick in middle  RR Sport Supercharged Vesuvius Orange 4.2 V8 First edition

On mine if you knock it over to sport mode then drop it a gear it will enter manual mode and stay in that gear until you change or knock it back to auto  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

Why do you want it to rev higher? Peak power is at 4000rpm. Changing up then drops it back in to peak torque. The gearbox is designed to keep the engine between peak torque and peak power which is where you find the performance.

If you're after more noise, look at having the rear silencer boxes removed. Search for "pipe werx" (I think it was) in the forum search for a member's experience of doing just that.  2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Command shift is manual but when dummies go to over rev the engine it will change up automatically. So in theory you can put it in 1st and drive it all day as it will also change up even though it is in first when you get near the redline. 07MY RRS TDV6

On mine it stays in gear selected if you forget to put it back in auto and revs like hell  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Just slipping the stick over to sport mode increases the gear change revs to optimum torque/power (ie 4k on the TDV8)

Command shift is only enabled if you push the lever forward (or back) once in sport mode. Then you'll get a gear number on the dash... The car will stay in that gear unless revs drop to under 1k... not 100% about if you hold it above a rev limit mind you...but who'd do that and expect their car to last  RRS gone

The autobox shouldnt let you kill it though so it can (i understand) still change up to protect itself. Mike

Thanks for the quick reply's, didn't realise RRSTV8 that the box was set up for maximum performance , so no need to alter it and rev more....cheers 2007 V8 HSE RRS STORNAWAY GREY
