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!  |
If it's shifting too early at WOT you may need a new tranny modulator.
