I have noticed more and more lately that my tranny defaults to neutral on heavy load. Example: when I am crusing around and want to shift and stomp, depending where i am in the current gear range, it might not let me down shift, but go into neutral for a second, then when rpms are down, will shift properly. I notice it more when I am in about third gear and want to down shift to do a nice rolling launch. It is as if I missed the gear. This may be a nanny feature, preventing me from putting too much on the tranny. I just hope that it gets better with a fluid and filter change.

It is all possible that I have too many rpms at the time I want to shift, that it is preventing me from putting due stress on the tranny. It has done it several times, and I just wanted some feedback on wether anyone else has experienced this and what were the conditions.
