#1 in gears 1-2 At full throttle the cat will not go past 4300-4500 rpm. It will hover at 4500 and not up shift.
Does it ever upshift if you lift the throttle? If it will not shift up as you say it does, how do you ever get out of 1 st gear?
What do you mean by " goes into neutral " ? How do you know it is in 3 - 4 - 5 if the trans goes into neutral? Does the engine rev freely past 4500 when this occurs?
If you actually put the shifter in neutral during issue # 2, what would happen? If after this supposed neutralizing event, do you have to shut the car off in order to regain automatic shifting ( get it out of limp ) ?
At what % throttle does this shifting issue occur? If you reduce throttle slightly will the trans shift?
The farther into the throttle you are the later the trans will shift, this is normal. If the engine is down on power the RPM will hang and trans not shift.
Why 6 cans? How much does the manufacturer call for?

The shifting problems only occur when the kicksown is engaged.
When I say go into neutral, it seems the car is about to kickdown but it never grabs the gear. The kickdown is useless on my car.
99% throttle input is fine, but if I even try a soft kickdown it just revs freely.
The car never goes or went into limp mode. I need to shoot a video of what I'm experiencing.
First I'll check ATF level. I don't like throwing the parts shotgun, but kickdown switch and transmission 13 pin connector are going to get replaced soon. Those are my prime suspects.
