i have a switch, but also have these symptoms - guess i'll change it for the
spare one i have, see if it makes a difference.  previously, was your car very
slow to kickdown, i.e. only if it really had to on a steep slope?

<<Bentley says that with the kick-down engaged, that shift can occur anywhere
between 31-40mph>>

mine won't even kick down into 2nd at that speed.....

<<Where do other folks find that their auto trannies shift into second under
hard acceleration?>>

no more than 10mph - way too early.  haven't had more than 40mph out of second
either.....
