transmission shop

can anyone recomend a tranny shop in the DC/MD/VA area. I have a feeling its something simple and dont want to hear "you need a new tranny" $$$$. it might be a solenoid, TPS or kickdown cable.

She doesn't seem to me shifting right (wrong interval) and it seems like no OD at times

You could try adjusting the transmission's "kick down cable" there at the throttle body to remove the slack in it, as this will improve the shifting.
It just may be that the cable has become so loose that it is not going into OD.
Other than that, have you checked the transmission fluid level lately... the correct way ??
Info for both of these suggestions can be found with the "search" feature and good luck!
