I drive an auto too :D

I understand there will be some lag, but at around 60k, the lag noticeably went up. I've ran a few red lights when I never used to, because it seriously takes 1.5 - 2 seconds after I slam(pedal to the metal) for it to downshift and start actually accelerating sometimes.

Given that I've noticed it slowing down, do you still think its supposed to be acting this way, or something I should get checked out.

edit: mother eff - I took my transmission in and had it flushed at 60k at a lube shop... do you think they used the right fluid per this TSB?

edit edit: I called the lube shop and they said they used "mercon 7 universal" automatic transmission fluid?? Did they put the wrong stuff in my transmission?
