Wierd auto shifting problems



I'm having an odd problem with my DeLorean. This is #000697, an automatic,
with a 90s technology computer. In first gear from a stop, if I accelerate
hard (more than half pedal), I get two-three disitinct "bumps". The car
acts if it's trying to DOWNshift out of first!

Dead stop in first: 800 rpm
Pedal to the metal.......
First bump: 2300-2600 rpm then drops to 2000
About 1 second later........
Second "bump" at 2900-3100 rpms then drop to 2600
About 1 second later.......(sometimes)
Third "bump" at 2900-3100 again
Finally it will break through pick up some speed and get to 2nd gear.

This happens no matter the temperature of the engine or the fuel load. It's
really scary when I'm trying to get out into traffic from a stop sign. It's
especially bad when I'm making a turn or going up hill. Any ideas???????
Thanks!!
