TIA
experience this issue. For the past year, I have had this issue which I thought was surging with the transmission fluctuating between gears. I'm driving home from NY on the NJ turnpike..the car is going 70 MPH..the rpm fluctuates to from 2.5k rpm to 3k, the car downshifts to 3rd..to 3.5k rpm and then to 4th back to 2.5. It did this about 20 times. The only damn thing I can think of that I mucked around with last year and that I adjusted in the past couple of months is the TPS sensor. Last year I replaced the TPS sensor due to broken contacts. The car has never been the same..or it could just be me. The only other thing I can think of is the Auto tranny control unit..however, that would just affect normal shifting..period. My problem only occurs after a good 1 hour of driving..and it happens for split seconds..sometimes never at all.. Any input is appreciated.. My tranny does not slip (yet) and it shifts through all gears fine, the fluid was changed 20k miles ago..it is filled to level, pink/reddish in color..no burnt smell...no leaks.
