Sometimes they do this.

The SD does the same thing.

Not much you can do about it short of rebuilding the trans and that is no guarantee of success.

If you need more revs in first, just shift it manually.

A little trick:

Once you shift up to "3" and the trans shifts to second, immediately downshift to "1". It won't downshift but it will hold in second until you shift back to "3" again.

You can control all three shifts to the exact point that you wish using this method.
