Hey guys I just got a ‘97 with 212k on the clock. Over all in fantastic shape. All electronics work just a little seat damage and missing clear coat on the hood.
My question is: is it common when cruise control is on and going up a hill for these to hold 3rd gear for a long time?
So example would be, I have the cruise set at 70 and I start going up a steep hill. It down shifts into 3rd and continues up the hill. When it get to the top and it is flat road it will hold 3rd for like a good 5-10 seconds before up shifting.
Hit the same hill at the same speed not using cruise control and it will down shift and then as soon as you hit the flat on top and let off the throttle it up shifts instantly.
Thoughts?
Is this normal?
Doesn’t seem like a mechanical trans problem but like transmission computer fluke.
Thanks for the help everyone
