or could be shagged, or problems with the torque converter or with the fuelling set up. I would think that the ecu take part control of the kick down which affects gear change. Its that long ago since I worked on an auto (Vauhaul Cavalier Coupe) to give you an idea, I had similar problems. The problem had something to do with the carb setting affecting kickdown, it also started slipping during gear change

mundingo boxes are well known for dying at about 70,000 miles,no parts are available only exchange boxes from frauds so unless you are buying it to break,its best avoided
