1992 TSi AWD automatic

Whenever I come to a stop, then start again, the car is very very slow no matter how much you press the pedal down, until you hit about 10mph then accelerates like normal. Also, I do not know if I am just not hearing it shift or something but I was on the highway and it seems as if the car never shifted. I mean I was doing 90 at 5000rpm so its not like its making me lose power, but I just never heard it shift. There also seems to be no kick-down gear. I know practically nothing about automatic transmissions so I have no idea what this could be. Thanks

I have the exact same problem, plus the L, 2 and D are the same, and the car makes a "slang" to the front when I engage D, and to the back when I engage R.
