first question (2000 SL1)
#11
When I had the automatic in my car it was a very, very funky little transmission. It would downshift under braking at times, but when I made it downshift on the highway to go faster, the revs would jump high then slam down into gear, as if the torque converter was letting loose. Mine was also missing the econobox/performance mode switch. So i think it was trying to econobox me all the time
I remember reading somewhere these transmissions learn how you drive, seeing that its your wifes car maybe your driving it abit differently? I remember when I lent my brother the car it would shift early for a few miles, cause hes slow hahaha

Well, the hills of WestVirginia are much more than the flatlands of Mississippi. I must admit, I've never felt the car drop a gear to retard speed on the downslope while running in "cruise", but I guess anything's possible ...

The last thing I would try before rebuilding the valve body and going through that head ache is try disconnecting the battery for 30 mins and see if it still does it. I know that some of the auto trans have a computer that learns your driving habits and tunes your shift to those habits. Some times you can reset the computer by disconnecting the battery for awhile. Mind you I didnt read all the post above me if I repeated something I'm sorry.

note, this is not using cruise... the car isn't equipped with it,lol... car downshifts as you brake and if you're going downhill, it stays in that lower gear... wouldn't be an issue but it is reluctant to return to the higher gear, like it thinks it's still on the steep hill...
