    Does it still hold gears to 3k rpm?
    Mine was only changing at 3k rpm regardless of whether I floored it or drove like a grandma. New TPS from Holden fixed it nicely.

    Nah it changes gear you basically have to drive it like you stole it and it does t slip jump or shudder when you drive it like that if you drive it normally it just holds gear engine light is now on constantly but idles well doesn't get hot also when you rev it in park the speedo says its doing 20
