Does 'sport' actually prevent it from selecting fifth or does it change back up at about 90mph or something? Secondly, I'm normally a very lazy driver and am happy to potter about with the smoothness of 'snow' mode. Will prolonged use of this boil the ATX & wreck the box or is it OK? Finally how often should I change the transmission fluid, it's covered about 65K & I suspect has never been changed.
Thanks in anticipation,

check throttle cable adjustment.
when in sport, it will not select lock up on the converter (to stop slip), you might think that is a gear!
Snow mode starts in 2nd, so here you might also have "lost" a gear if you count! It does no harm to use snow mode, just slow mode, really.
I would change the oil, if I was you.
