Transmission/ OD Issues 92 V8
I have a 92 Dakota v8 with 130k on it. The truck has been great until the past few months a few issues have came up and at this point even changed. The only things i have done at this point is check basic fues/wires and took the battery off to reset the shift points.
First thing that started happening was random downshifting/up-shifting when traveling at a constant speed/ throttle and flat ground. Mostly occured at highway speeds and sometimes around 40-50 in the city also. Often times it would shift in and out of OD numerious times in a few seconds(like a ping pong in and out). After a week of this going on the issues just stopped and I was just left without OD at all. Now shifting is fine but the truck has not shifted into OD since. Today on the way to work I noticed it seamed to be trying to downshift at 3+k rpm/ 65 mph(no OD still). Shifts are smooth as butter even when shifting in and out quickly, so I am assuming its a electrical issue? I have been researching around the forums but there seams to be quite a few things that could cause this( PCM, TPS, Wiring, Speed Sensor?) was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. I will be checking the basics this weekend but have yet to even see a CEL since the issue started. Also plan to check connections and wires to make sure that is not the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
