chunkyazian, as far as I can tell, my transmission does fine when I need passing gear. Have you ever driven a “real car”??
You must hate automatics as much as I hate manuals. Now the last auto I owned (before this one) had a feature that I disliked. If you were cruising down the freeway and needed more power, the TCC would release and it would shift down to 3rd gear at the same time, when all it needed was for the TCC to disengage.
