You are correct on the count, it is REALLY fast between 1st and 2nd still slides between 2nd and 3rd, 3rd and 4th. No kick bown between 4th and third. Will seek professional help, oh wait, will have car looked at. Thanks.
It REALLY doesn't like hills, maybe the alt adjuster isn't up to 5000 ft in 53 miles. Again thanks
