Nature
My auto BW T37 downshifts from 2nd to 3rd when it gets hot. I've =
adjusted the downshift cable at the throttle body a couple of times =
until I just about have no kickdown at cooler temps. Still it tends to =
downshift all by itself when it gets hot (75% on temp guage). Facts:=20

1) I have plenty of good ATF Type-F (no foul smell, good color, etc.)
2) It will shift back up into 3rd when speed is increased but the moment =
there's any variation in speed (increase/decrease) it will downshift =
again on it's own.
3) It is definately downshifting and not slipping.
4) Transmission was rebuilt 2 years ago by 'reputable?' 'SAAB only' mech =
in St. Petersburg, FL.
5) Transmission has 89000 total miles on it (7000 since rebuild (sat in =
the garage for 2yrs after a wreck)).
6) There's an in-line oil cooler in the lower radiator hose.
7) I drive it about 50 miles (1hr+ total road time) coming home in the =
afternoon at outside air temps of 90+F. It only starts doing this at the =
last 15 or so miles of the trip, sooner if traffic is bad.=20

I need help bad. I like the automatic for traffic but this is driving me =
nuts! So much so that I'm considering swapping for a 5 speed. I don't =
really have the money/time to do this right now so any low cost =
suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. :>)=20
