No problems with missed shifts then.

I bought the car from the original owner. He bought it in St Louis MO at the age of 24. He bragged to me that the trans had been rebuilt by Aamco and had a lifetime service policy to him. So he had them change the trans fluid yearly, wether it needed it or not since it was free. So that leads to the shifter. I am not an auto trans expert but i'm guessing they changed some parts that affected the shifting. The kick down switch works normally. When I put it in drive, it upshifts to 2nd early, even at WOT. That is why I was trying to manual shift it. Stillfun even with the shifter issues!
