I've noticed this two mornings ago upon entering the freeway on my way to work. normally it would upshift to 4th at around 40-50mph. I don't mesh on the gas hard when I'm entering the freeway ramp; I do it more at a conservative, safe, gradual way. does that have anything to do with it? am I supposed to gass it a bit more aggressively to engage OD immediately? what does this sudden change in shift pattern mean? relay? solenoid? or is this more a throttle cable issue under the hood?

ps.
I blew #10 fuse using a higer-amp fuse in it. could that have any connections to it?

thanks.
