You can make it go away by doing a 5spd conversion.. :wink: :lol: so basically make "YOU" the power button.. :lol: cos you decide the gear changes.. ''shifting like miss daisy for economy or going hard like Lowndes" :shock:

EF dont have a power mode like the previous models, they have normal and economy mode. Shifts happen sooner in enconomy mode and also the torque convertor will lockup in 3rd gear as well as forth (earlier models with normal/power modes will only lockup the torque convertor in 4th).
