I have this identical car, and it is a 4 speed automatic. I've put a few hundred into modifications but I still remember the gearing it had. You can get it into 4th gear, but you'll need to bring it up to about 160KPH . If you have ever tried out the manual gearing (1st, 2nd, 3rd, then drive) you'll find that 2nd gear will take you to 100KPH easily. This car has automatic overdrive so it will gear according to how you drive. Ecomonic mode is in the 4000s and sport changes at 6000.
To change into sport mode easily there's an additional option after putting the accelerator all the way down there's another section to it. Wouldn't recommend doing this around town since I've spun the wheels at 40kph and the back end likes to drop a couple of inches.
That should cover just about everything, i'd recommend reading your manual and hopefully you're putting 91-94 octane in this car. If you forget even once the car will moan for a couple hundred Ks and start knocking on the dash for help.

More than likely your shift cables need to be lubricated.
Would shifting from first second to third on an automatic damage the car while accelerating?
A car with an automatic transmission shifts itself from 1st to 2nd to 3rd when you accelerate. You don't need to shift it...that's why they call it automatic.

If 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee with automatic transmission won't shift from second gear to third gear any suggestions as to why?
In automatic transmissions the second to third syncronizers always seem to go bad first, the syncronizers are worn, bad or gone. This is common in these transmissions. Also you might check your trans fluid level, sometimes a low level will cause the transmission not to shift correctly.
Toyota Avalon automatic will not shift to third gear when cold?
Are you sure that it's third it's not shifting into, and not fourth? The transmission is designed to not permit shifts into fourth (overdrive) until the engine and transmission have warmed up a bit.
1991 Volvo 240 won't shift from third to fourth?
In an automatic there is a transmission shift relay that is behind your upper dash vents and can be seen just right of the glove box once you have it removed. It should be white in color with, IIRC, 6 prongs. More than likely that would be your culprit. I just went through this on my 87.
Why would a automatic transmission slip from third to first when you let off the accelerater?
There are tiny bearings and gears that make the trans shift smoothly and keep it in the right gear and when they go bad your car can develop a rough shift slipage and even trans failure
Shift from first to second gear?
Yep, then shift from second to third gear.

The transmission may need a flush and filter, or in my 92 accord I solved the problem merely by changing the transmissions computer.
