I thought this would be perfect for an autotranny and the slow shifts just the opposite. I understand we are still in the problem solving mode but honestly, I think if he can make his car shift quicker, it may reduce slippage in between gear shifts. Slippage = heat = Not good for an autotranny (especially a failing one).
