Default 1994 12valve auto trans problems.

I have a 94 12 valve auto. it will shift fine to third then the trans temp light will come on and never shift to 4th and over drive then the light will go off and it will shift up. Then randomly come back and down shift to third. Fluid is fine. Any help would be great!

Sounds like your transmission temperature sensor.
Does it make a difference if your truck is cold or warm?

need to see if any fluid is getting through the cooler. not sure what the pressure should be through it but it might be a good idea to change the filter and get some new fluid in there, make sure nothing is clogged up. have you pulled the pan since this started happening?

Fluid is alright, it was a bad trans temp sensor.
