Interesting transmission problem...
Recently I have noticed that my transmission feels as if it isn't finding the correct gears at higher speeds. Also, the trans seems to miss downshifts all of the sudden. I had the trans fluid changed during my 105k mile service and it seemed to temporarily fix the problem.
What I noticed today while playing with manual mode was this....
1st gear- Floor it, car takes off and revs to redline
2nd gear- same thing
3rd gear- same thing
4th gear- floor it, car barely responds, wont rev past 2900-3000rpms
5th gear- same as gears 1-3
Previously, I remember using 4th gear a lot to make a quick pass on the highway because it always pulled the hardest.
Im wondering if this could explain why my trans has felt "off" recently. Could one gear go bad? I dont know much about transmissions and a search didn't yield any results on this particular issue.

I scheduled a trip to the dealer Monday morning. Its still under warranty so it cant hurt. I hope they find something, I would like to actually enjoy driving this car again.
