My 1989 Comanche 4.0L stock transmission is not downshifting while driving.
This really became obvious to me on our trip to Pigeon Forge, TN. It would downshift out of the lock-up torque converter.
When you stop, it downshifts and up shifts on acceleration, but only up shifts at the shift points no matter how much fuel you give it. The trans shifter linkage appears to be adjusted as it goes into reverse and all other gears with the pointer lined up.
This is what I have done
Changed trans fluid and filter. The fluid was red and had no burnt smell, no crud in pan
Wired the inop comfort/power switch to power..it was burnt and inop
Checked all fuses, 7.5 amp in fuse box and 10 amp in-line fuse next to the trans module, they are all good
Un-plugged and cleaned trans module plug in
Checked the trans kick down cable, it moves the complete travel when accelerator is to the floor, it has tension on it when disconnected off the linkage and you pull on it.
Cleaned the one electrical connection I could find on the trans
I did some online surfing and I see the trans module is not available, at least at local part stores.
Any advice on what to do next is appreciated.
Having Comanche Fun,
Ollie
