Any advice on hard downshifts and long up shift times?

I also filled up with some 93 octane and it likes it much better.

If it has the mechanical link between throttle and transmission, it needs to be spot on or it will cause problems.

Blue smoke = oil
White smoke, dissipating within a few feet = water (coolant)
White smoke, fogging the neighborhood = transmission or brake fluid.
