2002 atx kickdown?
Question for those with more experience than me...
I'm wondering if my kickdown needs to be adjusted, but I don't know if what my car's doing is a symptom of that, or just the tranny in this year's car (4 spd auto).
At certain speeds, let's say 50 mph, I actually need to push the gas pedal down almost to the floor for my car to kick down a gear and accelerate. If I just push a bit, it lazily keeps going in the same gear. It's like my car thinks I I'm not trying to go faster unless it's at wide open throttle.
Anyone?
If it is a kickdown adjust, should I do it myself according to Chilton or check with a trans shop to be safe?

True that. I basically just mash the pedal like my car's been naughty and needs to learn it's place. For the most part, it works, but sometimes it drops too many gears and really roars for a second or two until it finds 3rd. They really should have put all the gears on the selector. Oh well. Live and not learn Dodge.
