Its will only shift down when the PCM comands it, it may not be going fast enough at 20 mph to allow a downshift.

Thats what I am saying it can only do what the PCM allows it to do , Do you mean it shift to 2nd at WOT at 20 mph ?

Nah when just cruising it shifts into 2nd by 20mph then when try to WOT at 20mph it just won't shift back into 1st

shifts perfect from a dig

Theres nothing wrong that just the way the PCM is programed to do , If you want different shifting characteristics you would need to alter them in the tuning. Remember a 4L60E does not shift on its own it only does what the PCM tells it to do.
