Econ light "OFF" seems to have solved all the transmission problems!
Thanks guys!

Wow, much better shifting in our hilly terrain with the ECON off.
Pushing the button does not result in instant changes, so beware.
I suspect that my fuel mileage will be better in this hilly terrain with the ECON off.
Actually holds in gear better and does not do the huge jump shifts.
Ramps up through the gears better too on acceleration.

Several low tanks are the result of severe local trips. 2-10kms on cold engine.
Temps are dropping here too, -8c this morning. Engine does NOT warm up on light loads.
Temp gauge should be at half, sits at third. Will likely do grill blocking for winter.

Driving fairly normal at this point, no P&G, mostly cruise control where able.
Under 70kph driving is stop and go city driving unfortunately. Kills mileage.
