Good evening,

Is the check engine light on? The throttle position sensor controls the shift points of the transmission.

How long since you changed the fluid and filter?

On the cooler lines the line from the top of the radiator goes to the top on the transmission or the bottom hole on the transmission?

Would switching those two lines on the transmission make any difference?
