I don't know, but I have to say that the above is one of the finest and most content-packed single-line posts I have ever seen. Not a single word wasted, except perhaps, *just perhaps*, the "But" in "But what is going on?" If I had to guess, I would say that the two things an automatic transmission can vary are its shift points and the nature of its clutch and torque converter engagements, and that with most multi- mode transmissions, the car will hold a gear longer, and shift harder/quicker, in some modes.
