Not shifting? or getting into top gear so soon that you're not aware of it shifting?

And if you floor it, it shifts? That's kinda weird. Fluid level correct?

Not sure, but I don't think it's electronic.



According to my manual, for no 1-2 shift:



Check Range selector linkage, Vacuum diaphragm and piping, Kickdown solenoid, switch and wiring, and some other stuff in decreasing order of probability.



For excessively high 1-2, 2-3, and 3-4 shift points:



Check ATF level and condition, same stuff as above, and fluid pressure (line and governor).
