Not sure if it's an automatic, from your post. If it is, my understanding is that the actual cause of the failure of automatics in the early PF's was the transmission oil cooler in the rad plugging up, which then killed the transmission by overheating. So obviously if the cooler isn't fixed, the problem will happen again.

If you have a manual transmission, I have no idea what's wrong, but whatever it is, it's rare.

once you get it to overdrive it will kickdown to drive and back up, but kickdown from drive goes to nuetral i think.
