3rd gen AUTOMATIC TL - What is the max speed at 2nd gear?

Like the topic said, what speed does the 2nd gear max out at before you shift into 3rd?





.......... Thanks!

Nevermind... found it. It's around 70 mph at 6800 rpm.

In the owner book you will find the max upshift and downshift speeds
You will find that best power drops off before redline, so learn the torque curve for shifting points.

^ He is referring to the torque range where it gives you the highest power. Usually this is below redline, somewhere slight above 5000 rpm and max horsepower at around 6200 rpm. So the 2nd gear at around 6200 rpm (probably 64'ish mph) would be the sweet spot.

01tl4tl, I know that, but I was just asking about what the max allowed speed the 2nd gear is, or when the 3rd gear enters. I found out already though. Thanks.
