transmission overdrive in and out

[manning-2]

My 96 pathfinder's auto transmission overdrive cycles on and off
on the interstate. Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Is the check engine on? Mine was floating between gears when my TPS (throttle position sensor) was out of adjustment but it also gave me A/T gear ratio errors. How's your transmission fluid level and condition?

Replaced TPS. No check engine light. Tranny fluid good. Thanks for reply

When you replaced the TPS did you go through the adjustment procedure?

with no luck on them repairing problem. So here I am looking for clues. thx for reply

Hey anyone figure this out? I have a 96 and it's doing that to but its only when its cold. I leave my heat off it has no problems but when its on at all it does it! And when its cold it takes awhile to shift into OD anyways. I just changed the tranny fluid 2 months ago.

I fixed the problem in mine by disconnecting the gearbox temperature sensor at the computer end. It is a problem with the sensor. Hope this helps
