Today's experience, and it hasn't always been like this, kick hard on level ground, it downshifts and accelerates great. Do the same thing on a pretty good uphill grade and RPMs go up (about 1000) and seems to downshift but speed doesn't change.
I think a trip to the dealer may be in order to sort through these ideas, which I appreciate very much.
I'm starting to confuse myself. If it weren't for passing on a two lane or climbing La Veta Pass once in awhile I could live with it...but I don't intend to.
