Forced downshifts do not happen at all. Reverse is not secure--it can occasionally slip into a forward gear, depending on temperature and luck. The TV lever seems to have very little travel--and it's pictures all "springy." The speeds at which upshifts occur are right in between the correct numbers for high and low throttle pressures. Shifting down pictures at those numbers, though, is not comfy. It should wait for very low speeds before it downshifts. THE ANSWER: In the transmission's Control Valve Assembly, there's a pair of valves in line with each other, like two tennis balls in a pictures can, but with a stiff spring between them. A mechanical linkage from your gas pedal presses directly on the "T-valve," which is responsible for down-shifts when you (sorry, your Driver) floors it. As the T-valve moves down its tunnel according to your gas pedal's position, it presses on the stiff spring, which doesn't compress yet, but rather displaces the next valve in line, the "Throttle Valve."
