I've seen a lot of data in which it is said that the older 4 speed hydraulic transmission is slow shifting and slow to kick down compared to the later 5 speed electronically controlled transmission offered in the 96+ models.
First of all, is this true? Secondly, is there anything that someone has/can be done to make the transmission shift more intelligently?

Rubbish.
Did you miss the part where I asked if it was even true at all? And it was not just that article that mentioned it. Doing a search of this forum turned up the same sentiments.
But thanks for not answering my question in any detail.

Nope. Did you miss where I wrote "rubbish"? Because that was my response to the notion that the old 4-speeder is slow shifting and slow to kickdown. If your car's transmission is anything less than quick shifting, then maybe you ought to have it serviced.

I found a 1994 for a very favorable price and was just wondering if this would be an issue. I have honestly never driven a 4 speed SL.
