Van was fully warmed up.

2 days ago, i replaced the vacuum modulator. It was bent and broken.

last year, Jiffy Lube fleeced my wife for $150 to flush the trans and it's been acting screwy since - slipping from 3rd to 4th. Replacing the modulator fixed that.

It downshifts at WOT on the freeway, TCC kicks in too.

If I manually shift into 1st, it starts in 2nd but it takes off normally for taking off in 2nd gear.

If it needs a trans, I will sell it, as much as I don't want to. ]]> U-Body Forum SexySilhouette http://www.a-body.net/forums/showthread.php?3633-not-downshifting http://www.a-body.net/forums/showthread.php?3618-Good-news-everyone%21&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Aug 2010 02:15:39 GMT I own a van again!

Van in question is a '95 APV with the 3.8 and 4t60-E transmission. The transmission bit the dust so I'm in the process of swapping in another one. I had found a freshly rebuilt from a '95 Olds Silhouette but the guy sold it out from under me. I'm now in the hunt for another one. All I've been able to locate are higher mileage used ones so I don't want to find myself in the same situation again in a short period of time. Rebuilding the current one is not in the budget either.

Am I locked into only using the "correct" interchange? That being the '94-95 Olds/Pontiac/Chevy van transmission? GM used the 4T60-E in so many other applications. I am hoping I can find a lower mileage tranny from another application that would also work fine.

now that is a bit different. Has a 1.8 that seems to be similar to the OHC engines in J bodies, as well as a manual transmission. ]]> U-Body Forum SexySilhouette http://www.a-body.net/forums/showthread.php?3581-APV-in-Brazil
