Re: Ultramatic transmission shifting gears

Just to get the terminology more correct, I assume you know that the Ultramatic doesn't really "shift gears", the perceived "upshift" is really just the torque converter locking up via the direct drive clutch. Had the direct drive clutch failed to disengage when stopping (a perceived downshift) it would have stalled the engine so I rather doubt that was the problem. I'll let others speculate on what might explain your observations but are you pretty sure it was transmission-related and not engine-related?
