1995 47RH need help
alright guys my trucks a 1995 had the tranny slightly built about 8000 miles ago and now it will shift up through the gears fine but once I get to around 45 I have to let off a lil then get back into it and I will hit over drive the once I get up to about 55 /60 and let out slightly it will kick out of over drive and it’s just been kicking in and out of gear and idk why could it be the tps, speed sensor or what?

And also of electrical noise in the system- caused by bad grounds, bad alternator brushes, bad contacts, corroded battery cables etc. Do a search for AC noise here and also for "ripple" - you'll find a lot :-)

Alpine Ram is all over the problem here.
I have the same truck and had the same problem.
Before doing much troubleshooting, I had to address a bad battery terminal on the driver's side battery. Replaced the terminal with a crimp on clamp and cleaned up all the wire ends and "Voila", my problem went away.
Look at everything he stated and you will find something not right.
Also, there are a group of wires on the clamp I mentioned, all small gauge wires feeding a variety of sources. Remove these wires from the batter clamp and relocate them under and fuse panel right beside the battery. This keeps the wires "healthier" for the long run and helps prevent electric gremlins from moving into your truck.
Good luck

And the TPS can also be the culprit- but please check the bushings in the bellcrank before replacing the TPS, bad bushings will kill a new TPS quickly. (Never forget we talk about 20+ year old vehicles and usually very cheap parts.. but diagnosis may be finicky..)

Relocating the wires is a good idea, but you need to take care not to modify the fusible links- they will not perform correctly if you shorten them- basically shortening a fusible link does the same as replacing a 5A fuse with a 15A fuse.. not a good idea.

I haven't thought about the bell crank bushings. I have a new TPS I bought 12 years ago, still riding in the cargo organizer at the back of the cab, new in the box.
