Well I drove it to town last night. It shifts fine under normal accel it shifts at a round 3 maybe less.It still does not down shift like I would like, it stays in 3 or 4 and uses the stall of the converter instead of shifting down. If this is a common way that they have these trans are programmed I can see why the front pump seal gets so hard there must be a tramendous amount of heat made by the converter that is transfered to the pump .It will down shift but you have to force it by giving it a large amount of throttle.Time to look for a shift kit.
