Some specifics on the vehicle would be extremely helpful. Like what year it is, motor size....

Chances are, if youre looking for an "o/d cancel" or a "tow/haul" switch, youre going to be looking for a long time. Just put the gearshift in "3"

There is no od switch. Is it shifting into od?

Should feel first, second, third, fourth, then lockup.

You could try adjusting the tv cable, but you probably have a trans thats going out on you. I would avoid trying to change the fluid. If you have a clutch pack thats burnt up, the detergents in the new fluid will clean off what little clutch material you have left.

No such thing. Take it to a transmission shop.

There are (3) solenoids in the bottom of the trans, and they are accessible by pulling the pan. S1 and S2 are shift solenoids and depending on which are on/off determines which gear you are in. There is a lockup solenoid S3 which locks the torque converter.

When in D the trans should shift 1-2-3-4-lockup via the trans control module which gets its input from the throttle position sensor, vehicle speed sensor, neutral safety switch, and brake pedal switch. The change from 4th to 4th and lockup is more noticeable in my '96 than shifting from 3-4. At an indicated 70mph I'm turning an indicated 2250 rpm in 4th locked up. At low throttle openings I can feel and see the shifts 1-2 at 20mph, 2-3 at 30mph, 3-4 at 40mph and lockup at 45mph.

There is a kickdown cable attached to the throttle linkage and it sometimes needs adjusting.

The trans control unit that sends voltage to the solenoids is under the glove box behind the lower dash trim.

Check all injector wires or try swapping the injector to see if it's bad and tell him to try cleaning his NSS neutral safety switch
