| Description of the problem | Transmission goes into high gear too soon, causing too much downshifting when i need to speed up. It goes into o/d at 45 mph. Very sluggish when i need to speed up unless i give it lots of throttle and then it drops out of overdirve and skips 4th gear and goes into 3rd. In town when you get up to 30 mph the transmission pops like it is trying to downshifting straight to 1st. I have had it to the dealer 3 times with no results.*ak i feel they are trying to wear me out so i will quit coming back |
