Sometimes when I back out of my driveway I go in nutral which lands me shifting to 3rd - not D by mistake. When I hit the gas I automatically can tell I went to 3rd not D.

Why is the 3rd feel very underpower or odd?

 

you should problably get you 1/2 band checked out or the 1/2 servo.

 

Because when you're in 3rd, you do not start out in 1 or 2 and then shift to third.

"3" means 3rd gear.

 

Exactly. There is nothing wrong that is how 3rd is supposed to feel when accelerating from a stop.

 

actually you do start out in 1st if its on an automatic id you start out in third there will be no power just like if you put a manual in a high gear and try to take from a stop sign. there is no power.

 

No you don't on the 09-10s.

I can't understand the rest of your post.

 

A turd is always a turd, put it in turd it starts out in turd, put in D it goes thru the gears lol!
