Well, I haven't driven all that many "trannys," but I would say it is about the same. Point is.... you can't "nail" a 400 rpm bump perfectly every time anyway!
The trick is to NOTICE what the top end of your RPM's are when upshifting (in any truck) and then BUMP to that point as a general rule when downshifting.
If you are going a bit fast in road speed, you may need to EXCEED that point in order to downshift. If you are just cruisin' up to a light, it will take much LESS!
You have to LISTEN to the engine, and you have to "relieve" the tranny of the LOAD!
Another way of saying this is, yeah.... the PRINCIPLE is the same for all tranny's. (that I know of)
