[wooden49]

Mine has done this for years, ever since I've owned it. Figured thats just the way this trans works, is it not?

i would'nt think it should shift this way but if your's has been doing it for yrs then maybe it is what it is. your reply has been the only answer so far thanks by any chance does your green 4x4 light stay on when you know the front tires are not pulling??? thanks again

Are you sure it isn't the torque converter unlocking and the locking up again once you resume throttle?

Your 4x4 light should not be on as long as the transfer case is in 2HI and the front hubs are unlocked.

My 4x4 light is broken such that it is always on (broken wire). Could be your problem.

My auto is near farked, When i let off throttle at 100, revs drop, then i apply throttle and it just slips for abit until it hooks O.D gear again....

I cleaned the o.d,sport-touring and auto-power switchs with brake cleaner the hosed them down with wd-40 now the trans. stays in o.d when you let off the gas and to get it to kick you have to try which it wasn't doing before ,it would sort of cycle on its own. the 4x4 light was a switch on the side of the transfer case that the wires were shorted together. like i said this is one of the two i bought as a set and as soon as i get thebugs out of this one i get to start all over. that one's a 91 with the 5 speed and i already know its got the exshaust stud issue

 

thanks for the help
