Default Shifting problem

Ok so once again my truck I's downshifting every once in awhile. My truck used to have this problem really bad until I got the throttle cable replaced and the tps sensor adjusted and replaced and noe after months o it not doing it every once in awhile I'll be doing 50 or so while in overdrive and Ot will downshift..... Any ideas at all????? Thus I's getting old with this truck.... Lol any help would be great!!!! Thank you

If the throttle cable needs adjusting I'm afraid it might get un adjusted when I mash on it again I dunno much about all of it yet and crank position sensor?? Where I's that at?

it is the sensor right above the harmonic balancer, pull it off and spray with break cleaner. might be oil or dust on it not getting good signal. regap at.040 or use credit card. real quick fix and worth a try!

After looking under the hood I found out that this little tps bar with the snap head on it I can move it up and down but won't come off it feels like it has alot of play I's this supposed to be like that? Or somewhat firm
