i have recently acquired a 1994 Mustang GT, Automatic Tran. It has a few problems but can be fixed and i need an opinion on one thing. I've noticed when i drive it, it doesn't want to shift, and when it does...you know it shifted. when you start out its ok, until you get to about 3 or 3 1/2 thousand rpm, and then it starts to shudder a bit and when the rpm gets above 5 it goes between 5 and 6 kinda fast and never shifts until you let your foot off the pedal, then it will shift, once it gets to 3rd its ok and it shifts fine...and i experience no problem on the down shifts either...and it feels like i have to really half my foot on the pedal to get it to go anywhere, like it feels like it should have a lot more power then its giving me...for instance when i drive up a hill it slows really fast and you have to practically floor it to get it to keep its speed...i normally drive my girlfriends 2005 mustang and I'm not accustomed to having problems with my cars...any help will be appreciated...thanks!

Ah, that's about on par with most of the stock AODE's.

If it's revving too high before shifting, do you have some steep rear gears?

Axle gears. If you go from like 2.73 to 4.10's, it can delay the shifts
