Default Trans Question

88 stock Auto Trans. I seem to notice that on light accelaration, the trans shifts very quick to overdrive. I'm not sure, but I think it actually misses third. Could this be a transmission problem, computer ??? If I get into in hard, it shifts OK It seems to struggle to down shift back to third when the car slows down :( any ideas :confused:

It will shift to OD around 35 if you aren't pushing it hard. That is normal. Are you sure it is skipping 3rd?? 3rd will only be engauged for about 10mph if OD is on at 35mph.
