I searched the forums and didn't see my particular issue so...
My 1987 Sunrader (18 ft w/auto trans & OD 145k miles) has an issue with staying in 2nd gear when the shift lever is in the '2' position and it seems to be related to the throttle. If I am going down a steep hill and put it into 2nd, it will not stay there unless I take my foot completely off the gas. If I am giving it some pedal, it will shift into 3rd and if I subsequently release the gas pedal it will shift back into second.
It also seem to do this on level ground, when using second to accelerate and get up to speed. Under those conditions I can start out in 1st and when I manually shift to 2nd it immediately does so, which appears to mean that the linkage adjustment is ok. Likewise, when off the gas it shifts down into second as it should when I move the shifter to position 2.
From reading the Chilton and Haynes manuals it does not appear that there are any vacuum lines (i.e. modulator) running to the trans, which appears to be the A43.
I read somewhere the the TPS may need adjustment but have not tried that yet as it is not easy to get to.
Has anyone run into this or have any ideas?
