i also forgot to mention that when in park or stopped at a red light my idle is a little rough. not very bad but enough to notice...maybe 50 rpm jump and you can feel it a little too. dont jnow if thats normal for these cars but ive never experienced it before in any other cars. and when i accelerate harder it does downshift just fine and be o its way. also when im going like 50mph on the same hill it doesnt do squat. just a smooth drive all the way up it. even when its in the same gear

My car has been doing this since I bought it a year ago. I had my mechanic have a look at it, but it wasn't producing any codes. He did say that it was definitely going into lockup too quickly and it doesn't like to come out unless you stab the throttle.
Oddly enough, I had a leak in the intake gasket at that same time and had it replaced. After he replaced it, that seemed to cure the trans problem temporarily. He and I were both stumped by that. The "jumpy" symptoms came back slowly over the course of a month.
I hold it back to 3rd in the city to avoid this problem, but it still does it in 3rd sometimes around 35 mph. I'm thinking the problem may be a bad pressure control solenoid but I can't be sure because it's not throwing any codes.
Fortunately it hasn't gotten any worse, so I haven't been worried about it.
