Default Shifting into 2nd

So 98 with aw4. As far as I know it should shift to 2nd at about 4500 rpms when in 1-2. My other 98 and 01 are that way. But this one shifts into second at much lower rpm. I have no problems with this. Just wondering if it's ok that it does or is something wrong/ out of adjustment. Maybe the tv cable? Keep isn't registered yet so I haven't been able to drive it far. So not sure if it's shifting improperly at other speeds in other gears. No tach so not sure what rpm. I'd guess maybe 2000-2500.

My '96 shifted the same way until I cleaned the NSS.

Funny you say that. My reverse lights stopped working and was thinking I should clean the nss. I kind of like the way it shifts now. Guess I'll find out when I clean it.
