Trans. problem

[ND RAM]

Anybody have any problem with the trans. solenoid going out on your Indy? Mama's Indy had problems shifting Saturday, not the first time but the first time that I was driving it and the worst case so far. The easiest way to shift 1-2 was to be going 2500-3000rpms in 1 and manually shift to 2. Same way for 2-D but it was alot bigger pain. My white 91 set a code for the trans. solenoid and it's driving very similar (downshifts twice from OD, doesn't wan't to upsift, etc.) so that's my first instint. Any ideas?

have you tried tightening your TV cable on the throttle body? If not, pull the little white clip off (it's the cable that attaches to the rear of the TB bracket). do not remove the cable from the TB, just the white retaining clip. have someone sit in the driver's seat and press the pedal to the floor. Reattach the white clip when the TB is wide open. Release the throttle and test.

If it is still rough, do it again, but pull the cable a little forward (toward the radiator) and then replace the white retaining clip.

Iv adjusted my kickdown quite a bit, but I never heard of holding down the gas when doing so. I dont have the clip style, mine is a press and pull kind. Is the holding down the gas thing just for the clip style?
