Update.
I changed the ATF again, 3 drains/refills for a more
thorough flush. Very little difference.
Got some good advice on changing the TSS and RSS,
thanks. I read in another thread that a faulty TSS
can cause the tranny to bang shift, which is basically
what's happening between 2nd and 3rd when hot.
I don't know if the fault mentioned applies to 99s
but for $30 bucks and 30 minutes of work, it may be
worth a shot.
As a general question, does anyone know where to get
test information on the various sensors in the car? I
would like to verify that these sensors are bad before
replacing them. I could burn lots of $$ and time changing
sensors and still wind up with a car in the transmission
shop.
Last 2 questions (promise:
When the CD4E fails, typically how fast does it go
from acting funny to not drivable?
Planning for the worse, can anone recommend a
trans shop close to Momouth or Ocean counties
in New Jersey? Or a franchise like aamco?
Thanks,
Vinny
