transmission shifts BUT.... problem?
OK Guys, I have a 91 and a 94. All ok with 91, runs 55MPH at 11 or 1200 RPM
BUT the 94 runs at twice that example 1500 at 45 MPH and 2100 at 60 MPH.
When I turn off the OD Button it does down shift. What maybe my problem?? Burning way too much gas!
Thanks

When you turn off the OD, it is supposed to shift into 3rd from 4th.... people usually turn off the OD when cruising around town, and turn it on when driving on the highways and byways.....

You cant accurately say how many rpm you should be doing with the auto because the torque converter can be locked and unlocked in overdrive, with differing amounts of throttle this can make the revs vary roughly 400-500rpm. But if you're cruising at 60mph with very light throttle, the TC should be locked, and you should be around 2100rpm - your 91 is reading wrong for some reason. Your 94 could benefit from a full service/tune up (trans included), and possibly replacement water temp sensor, maybe 02 sensors - have someone check both cars for error codes first.
