Do I contribute this to the heat or do I have another issue?


Personally I do not think you have an issue at all here.. Granted I am sure your tranny is older and worn some, but this was the norm back when these were fairly new...

Why would you want a first gear downshift for anything but coming to a stop at a sign or redlight to be prepared ( in first gear) for proceeding after stopping????

Again, I don't remember 4 speeds being really friendly about going into first at much speed....
