Sounds similar to the Gen1 Diesel. In theory, an auto with more gears will shift more and tend to down shift on hills more often than an auto with fewer gears. So long as the RPMs are high enough and the hill is shallow enough to allow the car to make it up the hill with the HP and Torque it has (which the diesel has a fair bit of), then it shouldn't feel the need to downshift.So far my 9 sp holds 9 gear just fine, not much down shifting. Im still learning the shifting strategy of this car, it seems that it changes a lot while it warms up. Once it warms up it is predictable.

I'm going to guess in the second part there where you put "the Vue sometimes shifts from 6th to 5th" you meant the Cruze?? hahaI have two hills where the Vue (170hp 2.2l L4) will shift from 4th (OD) to 2nd and rev to 4000rpm to get up the hill.
The vue SOMETIMES shifts from 6th to 5th and 2000rpm on one and on the other will usually shift to the same (60mph).
The rest of time the fuel economy drops but the engine revs don't change and 6th gear is maintained.
Very grunty little engine we got on the diesel!
lol ooops yes.I'm going to guess in the second part there where you put "the Vue sometimes shifts from 6th to 5th" you meant the Cruze?? haha
