Now, are you talking about when it shifts up during normal acceleration,
or that "kickdown" upshifting?

I'm not happy with how the transmission upshifts during normal "green
light" acceleration, and tend to shift manually, using the auto trans
shift lever, taking the engine up to higher rpms as though I was
driving

Right pedal cannot push pedal all the way to the floor, correct. Not
easily, not unless I either take foot off pedal momentarily and re-seat
it on the pedal at a higher location, sliding my butt forward on the
seat; or slide the driver's seat forward. In which case, I cannot easily
take pressure off pedal without lifting whole leg up.

So given the reduced range of pedal action I get out of this fused ankle
I set the driver's seat to a middle position where I don't go too fast
or too slow -- on the average.

It's like driving with a downhill ski boot on your right foot. Try that
sometime.
