When my AOD is cold it shifts sometimes a little different then when it is warmed up, this is normal due to the temp of the fluid.

Your AOD is always going to shift into over drive sooner (example:4,000 rpms) then the 2nd and 3rd gear shifts (ex: 4,500). The AOD will actually shifts into 2nd gear at the highest rpm, with the 3rd gear shift shifting at a rpm close to that, and the over drive will be substantially lower.

Here is your problem- You should not need to do wide open throttle shifts into AOD. The transmission was not designed for that, and it WILL burn the over drive out of the transmission. The AOD is designed to let you have a nice cruising gear, but in stock from will cause a lot of heat and wear if you are racing in and out of the over drive gear.

A shift kit will help you put the shift points where you want them for the other two shifts. I really like the Bauman shift kit, lets you decide where you want the shift and how firm. MY shift points are usually around 5,500, 5,250…and then I hold it in third thru he end of the quarter.

Good luck,
