a518 hunting

Every once in a while the trans in my 92 wil kick in and out of o/d. Usually between 45 and 55. The trans temp is never hot, and I just adjusted the tps maybe 3k miles ago. Any ideas?

Nobody else's tranny ever goes in and out of overdrive?

TPS is the most likely cause. When they get dirty or worn out they will do that.

I got tired of dealing with mine and its completely manual now.

Thats not a leak, its the external lubrication system.

Check the plug on the tranny, and put some grease on it. On one of my trucks, the plug was loose. I had to take it apart, and re-squash the terminal

mine did that too, but only at wot, no matter what speed, it will scare the hell out of ya if yer doing about 95 and mash on it, and it jumps out and tries to hit third. at least it dose me.
