in my 48re, when iam pulling out sometimes, it will shift to 2nd like normal, but it i give it barley more throttle, it will downshift to 1st, then right back to 2nd....and i think sometimes it does it from 2nd to 3rd too...is this normal hunting for gears or what???? it just does it sometimes, there's one spot particular on my road thru a curve that it does it.... its seems to go from 3rd to 2nd, then back to 3rd fast there... thanks

 

i have the same kinda deal sometimes with the 2-3 shift........wonder if they bands need to be adjusted to get rid of this? someone in here should know

 

mine does the same thing, ive considered it normal.

 

sorry to say that it is not normal, and DC knows it is not normal.

 

dont tell me that, tell me how to fix it!

 

and let me rephrase mine only does that creeping in houston traffic.

 

why do you think its bands? i think it is all computer controlled, and when you push the pedal down for more throttle is downshifts because of your current throttle position, and mph. then if upshifts to 3rd when you meet the throttle postion, and mph criteria for 3rd gear.

someone please correct me if i am wrong.

 

are you just rolling/coasting when it does this?

 

You have a built tranny...call HTS but I would say adjust your TV cable.

 

are you going to explain your statement?

 

my truck did 1 2 1 2 shifting all the time. took truck for drive with mech for other prob and he commented on the 1 2 1 shift. the prob was some cable that goes from tranny to the motor was not on properly.

 

did adjusting the cable fix your problem?

 

i know it aint the bands, cause they were adjusted when my tranny was built...it did it before my tranny build even.... the cable thing sounds like that would probally be it...anyone else?? whats the cable called??

 

It is the throttle valve cable or TV...what I mentioned above. And yes if it is not adjusted properly it will give you wierd shifts. It sould be adjusted so that it has a 1/16 to 1/8 inch of play at ful throttle.
