E4OD/RABS Related Problem?

My '90 P/U will not engage into OD unless I apply full throttle, then as soon as it does go into OD, it kicks back down to 3rd. Weird, huh. Most trannies need you to lay off the throttle to go into OD. Anyway, RABS light comes on now also. Seem's to me it's something electrical more than mechanical in the tranny. Replaced the fluid and filter. You guys are some of the best, give your thoughts here. Thanks, Terry

Sounds like maybe the speed sensor is having a problem. The RABS takes it's info from the speed sensor in the rear axle. I think the E4OD has a sensor in it too, not sure.
