[DML] Downshifting

["artbywarren" <artbywarren@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, All. 

Noticed another new oddity with our DMC this past weekend. You get in 
the car and start it up (after letting it sit without driving it 
for.. I donno.. let's say one day or so) and you take off in her. 

Accellerate.. BAM! Second.

Accellerate.. BAM! Third. 

No problem! So you drive for a while and decide to stop somewhere 
along the way. Turn off the car (or not.. it makes no difference)... 
get out and do your thing.  Get back in, fire it up.. try and go.. 

You go all right.. but the car's still in either second or third gear 
from when you were travelling a few minutes ago.  What's The deal?!

As an interesting side note, I had to have both transmission mounts 
replaced in April, and while the car was there (the transmission 
shop), they did a full check on it and said it was fine (as far as 
they could tell).  The only other oddity is the fact that the Tranny 
makes a very bizzare "whining" sound when you start the car.. 

...don't ask.. I have no idea. The transmission shop never made 
mention of the whining and I never knew what it was, so I just had 
the shop (where I have most of the work done) look for the noise just 
for the hell of it, they checked it, found out it was in the tranny, 
but said everything seemed OK.

..that probably wasn't even worth mentioning, I just find it odd.

So anyway: You think it could be anything other than the CPU governer 
causing this?  I mean,  I'm more than willing to just replace it or 
have  Mr. Hervey service it  (was going to do that last trip but 
spent the alotted funds for the month).  However, the car never 
has "trouble" up-shifting, the shifts are very much right on time and 
there is no in-between. The car also has NO trouble popping right 
into reverse or drive on command, another sign of a failing shift 
CPU.  I'm confused!  What's your vote?
