Don't remember seeing this problem mentioned, and couldn't find anything with the search engine. Last week or so, My '92 has felt a little "weak" on take-off. Today, when accelerating across a main road, it finally occurred to me what it felt like: like it was starting out in 2nd. A few quick tests on the way home, and that sure seems to be what is happening. When I have it in 4th gear/OD, the transmission starts out in 2nd, shifts fine into 3rd and 4th. If I drop the selector into 3rd/D, it starts out normally in 1st, shifts at the right time to 2nd and then 3rd. It will shift into 1st if I drop the selector to 1st.
Transmission isn't slipping or anything - it just doesn't seem to want to start out in 1st. I'm going to swing by the library and see if the transmission manual has any insights, but I thought I'd also ask you guys if any of you know what I'm looking for.
