05 neon, 4 speed auto when in 3rd gear is there a way to adjust it so it stops dumping back into 2nd and first when slowing down? I want it to down shift only when back on the gas> thanks

 

What do you mean "dumping?" Like if one were to drop the clutch while downshifting?
Not following here. You don't want the transmission to downshift unless you are giving it gas?

 

If you put these cars in gear 3 it's sort of a sport mode they will keep the gears longer and if you slow down to say 35 it shifts into 2nd and stays there until 40 then shifts back to 3rd this sucks but it keeps it from goin into overdrive.i don't like driving it in od, revving it to say 20 to 60 and letting off the gas it shifts from first to 4th not good for trans you know what i'm saying right?

 

I found my answer, it's electronic controlled!!!

 

Not at all a "sport" mode. Most any automatic car with overdrive has a way to keep overdrive from engaging. On the Neon, it's 3rd gear. Downshifting an auto doesn't make it go to a sport-mode, lol. Not sure how you are "revving" your car from 20MPH to 60MPH and making it jump 3 gears, but OK.

I see a transmission failure in your future.

There is still a very large hydraulic part to the transmission. If you drive a Neon with a bad shift solenoid, you'll know what I'm taking about.

 

Installed cooler much better!!!
