Greetings,
I'm just needing direction as to what rabbit hole to follow. I have '97 with 253,000 miles. Recently it started not downshifting on approach of hill, or if I need to pass a vehicle on the road. No matter how much I smash on the accelerator it doesn't downshift to allow the RPM to climb up. There are no other shift issues. Under normal driving all shifts are smooth and appropriate up and down. While replacing the Pesky heater hose I, replaced the fuel filter, plugs and wires, old fuel lines and vapor canister.
The trans fluid looks good, no external trans leaks or abnormal sounds.
Should I start look at adjusting the kickdown cable or could it be shift solenoids causing this issue. I'm concerned messing with the kickdown cable adjustment as all my other shifts seem good. Although I may not have a clear understanding of the overall effect the kickdown cable plays. Hoping someone here has seen this before and guide down the path of revelation.
Thanks,
Brad
