Transmission Weird.....?

Having some weird issues with the tranny... Seems to shift too soon into higher gear and runs really low with alot of vibration. Shifts too soon. Runs fine otherwise .... Checked the codes and only code that comes up is Oxygen sensor. Had a transmission leek from one of the return hoses, fixed it and had a tranmission code come up but when cleared has not come up again. Transmission fluid looks clean and no burnt smell.

The throttle linkage that goes from the throttle to the tranny needs to be reset. Push the button in as hard as you can, and move the black slider piece connected to the cable back on all the way. Then, get on the road, and slam the gas down as hard as you can. Slowly let up on it before you get going to fast...that might be the problem. E-mail me with questions.

hey, mastermind, there is no point in bumping threads that are more than a month or two old

After retracting the cable you can just open the throttle all the way without even starting the engine, thus eliminating the possibility of the cable sticking wide-open-throttle the first time it is put to the floor.
