It disallows downshifts above 4k because it wants a 1.5k gap to redline in a lower gear. this is conservative, but in my usage hasn't been an issue because when I downshift I want gear left over anyhow, but it would be nice to not have the nanny or at least had some more headroom. But I feel reviewers were annoyed by it a little more than needed due to not understanding and/or asking about it.
