I've had this issue for a while now but it has gotten pretty severe. When my truck is slowing to a stop, my transmission (94 Turbo E4OD) seems to either not shift into a lower gear or let go of the converter lock up mechanism. It sometimes slows the engine to a stall. This also happens sometimes when I shift it into gear from park. It slows the engine down a lot and sometimes lets go or sometimes stalls it. The symptom came up first while shifting from drive into reverse.
It won't downshift easily either. Sometimes, I mash the pedal but it takes some 10 seconds to decide to downshift. I tried adjusting the sensor on the pump to see if it would downshift sooner but nothing changed.
My "off" light sometimes flashes but goes away. I thought it was a low fluid indication and added some but the level was not way too low and the flashing still happens and the symptoms are such that I've parked it.
I've rebuilt several AODs and understand the internals are similar to this thing with the valve body being the main difference. However, the symptoms don't lead me to any particular area that would be familiar to me.
Any help is appreciated.
