Ok with my c-4, I'll be driving and sometimes it stays in second gear longer than normal then it kicks into third after getting up to around 40-45mph. Usually it does it around 30-33mph when just driving normal.------------------

A certain band is o.k. for cold/warm conditions, sounds like low fluid level. Check in warm condition, running shift lever through gears, then take a multiple sampling of the dipstick level indication. Otherwise bands might be worn.

IF the Band and fluid check out, it could be caused by a dirty filter, a bad modulator valve or possibly a Sticky valve inside the valve body. I would check these out in this
order. If the fluid is low and there are no appearant leaks, I would still check the modulator because a hole in the diaphragm can cause fluid to be sucked into the intake. Hope this is helpful------------------

the modulator valve will hold the gears longer when low or no vacuum is present also.., but it would also hold first gear longer..
