Re: 94 - transmission shift problem

Letting off...the cycle continues. Shifting back and forth on the highway at 60 to 70 mph must do the trans a lot of good. After the engine is fully warmed, coming to a complete stop and restarting seems to cure the problem until the next cold start up. I know these trannys are heavy in the electronics, but is this sounding like a TPS or maybe the modulator? Why it goes away after heating up and stopping is baffling me.
Thanks all.

The clues are in your question: "slowly release the accelerator pedal.......Slightly pushing down on the accelerator ..."
sounds like the TPS to me...after it heats up sounds like the O2 sensor is taking over...
I'd check the TPS, it won't cost you anything but a little elbow grease and time.
