Wierd shifting

During normal acceleration by car goes from 1st to 2nd to 3rd to OD to 3rd and finally back to OD again. If I have 50%+ throttle then it shifts normally. Any tips?

Turn off OD during city driving. Turn it back on on the highway.

What is your "normal acceleration"? My guess is just that it happens to be right on the edge of where the car wants to switch between 3rd and 4th... that happens to me a lot driving over moderately hilly areas. If it's bothering you, switch off OD like konak85 said. I wouldn't be worried about it being a mechanical problem, though, if that's what you're wondering.

You guys are right. There is no problem with the OD off. Its just that I wanted to be cheep with the gas consumption. So I always ride with the OD on to keep my RPMs low. From now on I'll have it off simply because its starting to annoy me. Thanks.
