Steve,
I think this may have something to do with the 46RE tranny. My 46RH instantly
downshifts. I did have to play with the cable adjustment to get it just
right. The 46RE is adjustable. But as you stated in your post, it is a
dealer adjustment, done with a computer. I don't think many dealers like to
play with this adjustment. Anyone else got any ideas?
