try resetting the transmission. Theres a post on here on how to do that. The adaptive transmission can get lazy very easily...after reset you should notice a big improvement...at least until the transmission adapts back to its old lazy way....

Thats it! Thats the transmission reset I was talking about. Try this first, you will be really surprised at the difference it makes....it just doesnt last very long...
