I assume the fluid level is correct and you changed it at least every
50K miles ;-) Then the question is: when you shift it manually from 1 to
2 or from 2 to 3 - does it shift instantly?

	Also, ac worked fine but noticed it cuts off when I heavy
accelerate. Is
	there a switch or something that controls this or might it be
related to

and it
	seems to be working properly. Hotwired the ac clutch and it
kicks in and
	compressor blows real cold almost instantly. Any help, much
appreciated.

It's normal, the AC cuts out when kickdown switch is activated
