And hard to know how the cars actually vary below 2000RPM since pretty much no one actually dynos that low
No, i'm not 100% sure its the throttle. Everything I've read from ZF mentioned throttle rather than load, The INPA test pages use throttle and the xHP maps use throttle. Certainly worth checking again. If it is engine load, it's hard to imagine the logic behind the gear kickdown values.

We could look at the toque maps inside the various engine maps for an idea.
