The 6R140 has a better shift from factory, no problem in the hills except down shifting.
5 Star Tuning can help with the down shift.
However the 5R110 has a bad shift in the hills from the factory, the 5 speed will go from 5th gear to 2nd at the base of a hill and the RPM's will go over 5000 and the motor will scream, I and others have complained about this but 5 Star Tuning fixes the problem and now it goes from 5th to 4th and 3rd if needed, much better no screaming of the motor and the Tuner adds more HP and Torque to the motor at lower RPM's making the drive so much better.
