Ok so I got my car back from dealer Thursday (30k service). As I'm driving it back home, I'm noticing a real harsh 1st-to-2nd gear transition. Like a real thud.

Then I took my first highway trip in the car since the dealer had it. It doesn't go into overdrive -- ever. It will sit there all the way up to like 90+ MPH and stay in 3rd gear... right up to like 5000RPM. As long as it's getting any pressure on the accelerator at all, this continues. If I take my foot OFF the accelerator (when most autos would DEFINITELY go up into overdrive,) it goes into NEUTRAL (clutch disengages) and RPM's drop to under 1000. Then when I re-apply gas, it basically revs up to wherever it was and then re-engages the gear.

Then my Service Engine light came on... argghhhh

Bringing it BACK to the dealer.

What the fock?

I was driving it over to the dealer tonight, and none of this happened. So I took it out on the highway, and it behaved normally for a while, then it started happening again. Sheesh. I hate "sometimes" problems coz they are harder to fix.
