It sounds like your torque converter is jumping out of lock up mode. It seems the transmission is reading the pressure incorrectly and thinkingit needs to drop out of torque converter lockup in overdrive and drop down to the next gear. I am not sure if your tranny is regulated by vacuum or by electronics. In the old days they were controlled via vacuum modulators by new ones are electronically driven to match gears to rpms and ground speed.

What makes an automatic transmission change down when the accelerator is depressed?

When you press the accelerator, the engine wants to tach up right then and there... in the current gear the car is traveling in, it may not be possible without bogging the engine down, so the transmission is shifted down in order to accommodate the demand for increased RPMs while preventing the engine from bogging.


Why do transmission lines use alternating current?

Transmission lines use alternating current in order to support stepping-up and stepping-down of the voltage with transformers. Voltage is stepped-up at the power station, sent over the transmission lines, and stepped-down at the receiver. (This is a simplified explanation.) By stepping-up, you reduce the current carrying requirement of the lines, and they can thus be smaller.You could not do this with direct current as transformers only work for alternating current.


When another car is passing you you should?
