Most governors , or auto 1-2 shifts are based on output shaft rpm . Electronic shifts are based on engine speed . The difference is on good weather days a governor shift will appear to shift at a higher rpm , due to converter slip . Electronic shifts will shift at the same rpm regardless of the weather . Might be a problem trying to dial in a car if the weather changes during eliminations .
