Transmission ?

Does anyone know what sensor is used for a reference signal to the PCM that controls the shift points of the transmission? I have a 99 with 98K that I bought about 4K ago and it is intermittedly going from overdrive to passing gear then to overdrive repeatedly. Not throwing any codes so I don't know where to begin.
Thanks in advance
Craig

I don't have an answer for you but my 2000 with 50k on it does the same thing.

Welcome Craig.

When was the fluid & filter last changed? How's the fluid look? Is it up to the "full" mark? This is where I'd start.

I do not have any service records on this truck unfortunatley. The fluid is at the proper level, and does not smell burnt. I was considering a filter service but with 98K and not knowing the history of service I don't want to cause any problems by doing a tranny service. The problem is intermitent, often I can not get it to replicate, then there are times that it does it but goes away during the trip. It does it with a steady foot on the throttle as well as with cruise control on.
Thanks again
Craig

Might want to check your TPS for dead spots. If the ECU sees the TPS voltage fluctuate suddenly, it may think you are jumpeing on or off the gas pedal, so it drops down a gear to get you going. Wouldn't set a code, 'cause some people drive like that.
Just my guess . . .
