Well, on to remove and clean the mode switch/range sensor. iÆve lived with this a bit, and symptoms remain constant:
summary: Harsh up- and down-shifting, when in D Drive. Problem began with only harsh up-shift from 2nd to 3rd, and then progressed to current state fairly rapidly, which has remained constant.
In order to avoid those harsh shifts i can drive in 3rd with no problems, even manually upshift to D when appropriate, and manually downshift to 3 before the trans computer does it harshly.
Cleaning this switch seems worth the try after reading and conferring, especially since some have had success, and the part has a dealer list of $193 American.
Hey -- wish me luck, i think iÆll need it crawling under there with the grit and grime falling in my face in this heat!
Any last words of advice? any and all hand holding greatly appreciated (and needed on this).bc
