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?
