Are my 5/6th kinda sticking

So if I hold the auto in 1st or the 2nd 1st (In 1st setting theres two gears, one goes 30 or so and it hardly uses that gear, and theres another that goes 50ish or so)
and I have it about 4k rpm and I wot, the rpm gauge literally jumps to 4.3k or so, even from 3.8k it'll just jump and go to the redline crazy fast.

Other times if I don't wot it'll just go snail slow, or if I wot it'll go snail slow and I'll have to push the throttle a few times then it goes quick again

I've put some wd40 on the rods and oil, seems whenever I do that they turn on more often, the prior drivers of the car were my grandma and dad who never went near 4k lol.

I forget what aaron cakes site said, push them up or down, I can but it's damn f*** hard, hurts my fingers

If they're sticking I gotta take off the uim and lim and such? I'm pretty bored today guess I'm willing to do it.

Sounds more like your transmission isn't downshifting properly when you mash the throttle. Hard to say.

For the aux ports, you can remove the actuators (2 screws) and rotate the sleeves by hand to see if they move freely. Just make sure you have replacement gaskets or some RTV to seal them when you put them back on.

naw got no rtv or gaskets.

Guess I'll wait to do this then.

I have the tranny locked in gear usually, makes city driving easier since the auto just shifts to 3rd all the time when im on the freeway going up hill for example I'll pus hold it'll down shift to some gear that is avout 3.5k at 60, so I give it gas to stay at 68 (Car slows down alot up hills and people get mad) sometimes I WOT just for the hell of it and I noticed sometimes it jumps sometimes it just goes really slow.
