Re: auto tranny problem

This does sound like a shift computer problem but ther are a couple of 
things to check first. Check the fluid for the correct level and 
condition, it should be betwen the high and low marks and shouldn't 
smell burnt. Check the cable adjustment from the throttle spool to the 
shift computer for proper adjustment. And finally check the wiring and 
plugs going to the shift computer. Make sure plugs are seated 
completly, connections are clean and none of the cables got melted on 
the exhaust pipes. The gear selecter could also be out of adjustment 
but not likely. Other possible but less likely causes are plugged 
filter, worn fluid pump, out of adjustment modulater, all could cause 
low line presure that improves as the fluid warms up. A definative 
test would be to check the line pressure as per the Workshop Manual.
