In drive car starts off in second gear dont know where you get 4th from Check the vacuum to gearbox tube and coupling .And cable for kick down should have play in it if tight it will change fastter than it should . And the same for the throttle cable .Check the small micro switch on the throttle linkage listen for the click as you press it in .
