OK, wasn't sure if perhaps you meant from drive 1 or 2 to D, just wanted to
be sure.

When you say it takes 3 seconds and higher RPMs to get into gear--are you
holding pressure against the shifter for the gear you want, and the shifter
suddenly moves into place when you get in gear; or, are you moving the
shifter into place, and then it grabs the gear 3 seconds later without
further effort from you?  Do you understand my question?
