So you feel the half gear while in S-4?

You could also pop it in S-5 to gain the half gear, when you're on a slight incline. When mine drops to 4th on a hill, you can really feel the tq while pulling. It's right in the tq sweet spot, and it actually puts you in your seat a little. Seems like i'm right in the mid- 3k range, if i remember right. It's right when the TC unlocks that you feel the surge.
