Do you have the V6 or 4 Cyl? I have found that mine shifts hard (actually won't shift at all from 1st to 2nd) at high rev's now. I have to take my foot off the gas, then it shifts. I had the air intake assembly off last night looking to see if I had a vacuum problem but found nothing. I have the 4cyl Zetech. There is a hose coming out of the top of the tranny that I cannot find where it goes. I think it is some kind of breather, but I am not sure.
