So I've been trying to resolve this via searches and reading thread after thread, and I'm getting mixed results at best. Basics - 96 4.0 AW4 231 ~142k
After my last drain and fill of just the tranny pan, the tranny has begun the "I don't want to shift down when coming to a stop" game. It was the 4th drain and fill I've done, to try and slowly and safely change out the fluid in the tranny, since it looked like it had been a long time since it's last flush. I have about 3/4 of a bottle of trans-tune in there from sea-foam, made a small difference, but hasn't solved it yet. I'm thinking about dumping the rest in and doing another drain and fill in a couple days.
Also did the throttle cable adjustment, which gave mixed results. It improved throttle response immensely, but made 1-2 and 2-3 shifts much stiffer at low revs/light throttle. When I'm harder on the gas peddle, the shifts are smoother, like they used to be. Is this a product of the computer and transmission "learning"?
Also, I think I'm just a TAD high on tranny fluid, like barely over the max level. I posed this question in another thread, but want to put it out there again in this thread - can too much fluid play a factor in this? I feel like everything I'm attempting is only making it worse. Ever since I decided I was gonna keep this thing as my DD instead of sell it, it has turned into a massive headache...
