Don't you find the shift points are somewhat variable depending on how you are driving (ie accelerator pressure)? For our car, I can make it shift into 2nd anywhere from about 18-28 mph and into 3rd anywhere from 40-55, and it will downshift on the highway in an emergency situation... nominal shift points are 25 + 40...
I actually really like the auto tranny in the 900 for what it is... could really use a 4th gear for fuel economy on the highway, and the reliability is poor (particularly if driven hard)... but the way it's geared combined with the fairly flat torque curve to me is brilliant... so much better than modern Japanese 5 speeds + their peaky engines... blech...
