I have a 97 Tip and that sounds different from my experience. In 'auto', I have a slight bogging of the engine at 2800, but the trans always seems to shift crisply. In 'manual', if I start in 1st, it blows right thru that rpm. The only time I have had issues with it shifting is when I am throwing it around corners and I believe the fluid is sloshing about and starving the pump. It has only happened twice and I now know what to do to prevent it.
Does it shift properly when you drive it harder? How many miles on the car? Have you checked the trans fluid level?
