Drove about 400 miles from southeast Michigan to the UP yesterday with no issues, until tranny started downshifting to second on flat roads while doing about 55 mph (3:42 final drive). Was able to get it to upshift by releasing accelerator, but then would downshift again when I tried to accelerate. Checked vacuum lines and replaced modulator, but no change. Unfortunately I did not install the new modulator correctly and it started leaking. Tried to reinstall, but too much fluid leaked out and I can no longer move the coach onto a curb to get under it. Can anyone provide assistance or recommend a reliable, honest shop in the area that would be willing to actually work on it? I did locate a tow truck with a wheel lift nearby, just not sure where to have it taken.
If I can get the modulator reinstalled, Manny recommended disconnecting the downshift solenoid, which if the culprit, would allow our vacation to continue.
Thanks in advance.
