The eec controls your shifts. You have to use a Tweecer or some other means to adjust it. Are you sure it is hitting 5500rpm? The stock tach is usually off by a few hundred rpm. Are you hitting the rev limiter? The only way I can think of that you would be hitting the liniter without shifting manually, is if your trans is slipping.

Your shift points are still programmed in the eec. It will still start the shift at the same rpm's.

1-2 4600rpm
2-3 4700rpm
3-4 4650rpm

A shift kit will not change when the shift starts. It should make the shift quicker as far as how long it takes to complete the shift, but it will not change when the shift starts. The only way these points are changed is by chip or plug in tuner.

I asked before, how do you know it is not shifting until 5500rpm? Are you going by the inaccurate factory tach, or are you actually hitting the rev limiter?

I would just use Motorcraft 75W140 its synthetic, and if yours is L/S use two small bottles of Motorcraft XL-3 friction modifier.
