When I am cruising down the highway and let my foot off the gas pedal, the transmission downshifts all the way down to what seems the first gear. Very annoying. If I press back on the gas pedal it will get back into proper gear. Also, when the engine is relatively cold, I will put it into DOD and it will take a while for the trans. to shift into a higher gear. Transmission fluid was changed a couple of years ago. I check the fluid and there is no loss and looks clean, no burnt smell.
