when i take off, the rpms go up, then the trans kicks in. doesnt do this all the time. then when driving on the freeway when i let the car coast, the transmision tries to downshift repeatively. abs/tc light is also on. Any help?

the MPLS (manual position lever sensor) is very sensitive on this car, it might need adjusting or it could need to be replaced-I have the same issue on a 93

Have you checked the transmission fluid level?
