I'm editing and deleting my original post: "gone"
I did some more tests on the way home. My tran drops into first no problem by either selecting 1st or Drive. It doesn't move into second however unless I move the selector there (no automatic control). Same thing with 3rd, except also, it seems to be slipping, especially when its cold. At first I thought it was going into neutral but it does engage 3rd if my speed is high enough but there is a few seconds of hesitation with no gear before it grabs. Mine is a C4 auto. No pressure plate or clutch. Why would it slip? Also why wouldn't it automatically go into gear like it should and require manual gear selection?
