Hey red
There is a separate computer controlling the tranny. (TCM) and if you need it I can send along the procedure for manually pulling codes from the tranny control module. Let me know!

Suggested Repair

Check the separate transmission control module (TCM) and retrieve transmission codes before replacing parts.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 1995 Eagle Talon ESI 2.0 automatic says it wants to downshift and will not upshift around 35-40 mph until the car is shut off and restarted. Cleaning and replacing the transmission ground cable did not fix it. A reply suggested checking the computer, and the expert identified a separate TCM and offered the procedure for manually pulling transmission codes.
