Thanks Rick! You're completely right, it was the 1->4 shift fuel econ on the odo that was locking my 2nd gear. That is annoying. Any way to override it?This still doesn't quite explain the hop after shifting. I don't drive this car a lot, but I'm sure it hasn't always done this. I've been driving it daily for the past week and it just started acting up a few days ago. I get her out of the garage occasionally and put a couple hundred miles on her before shining her back up and closing the garage door again.Thanks again for the help.
