Lower gears and still slugish.

soo I went out checked timing. I'm right at 19 degrees@ idle. Drove the car in drive, doesn't matter if I take off slow or full throttle it shifts 1st to 2nd @ around 10mph and 2nd to 3rd @ around 15mph. Seems odd. Also no kick down ever. Have the linkage all the way back. Tried in the middle an forward.
