Here is the problem.
My tranny is shifting too early from 2nd to 3rd. When it gets in 3rd the RPM's are too low and it shifts back to 2nd and then within 5-7 seconds its back in 3rd again. If I mash the accelerator like I am getting on the freeway and force the engine to go through the rpm band it shifts fine.
Also my engine is running hot, hot enough to turn on my "check gauge" light. I changed the tranny fluid and filter thinking that it may be bad but no dice. Still doing the same. Could it possibly be the fan clutch going out and bogging the motor down? NEED SUGGESTIONS!
There are no strange noises or metal shavings in the fluid.
I need help!!!
