Re: [Chrysler300] torqueflite trans.

I believe it depends on how the transmission is set up which in turn depends
on your motor's torque curve & rpm capability and your axle ratio. If you
have a stock 413 with a 3.23? rear gear, then you wouldn't want it to
downshift over 70 mph or you are likely to overrev the motor.
