levels good, color pink, not burn brown and full of metal dust.....??????
if the TCM , controls the Tranny solenoids right?
Did you pull the TCM trouble codes yes, (blinking light codes?)
does the OD lamp flash, this means DTC errors stored.
see page 8 here

The diagnostic code can be read by the number of blinks of the overdrive OFF indicator light when terminals TE1 and E1 are connected.

the Tranny
will not slip, unless the
tranny is bad.
the FSM covers this, you check the voltage to the soleniods
say in Low. are all solenoid coils at the proper voltage 12v or 0v?
is yes, then the tranny is toast.
but if you read the FSM, there is a on car set of tests.
1:the stall tests. i bet your s fails that.!!! ever do that, ?
2: then the pump pressure test, if bad, tranny is bad.
ill stop here, there are 200 plus part in the box and yes, 1 o-ring bad
kill the whole house of cards.
the more you slip it the more damage it gets.
the E suffix means
elect,shifter, TCM brain.
why not log in to all data.com
and see what tranny you have. and the tests. all simple on cars tests.
stall, etc.
old gosh the device bullion.
in 1992 the started modifiying this tranny to allow shared axle and A/T
fluids. the dead give away is the dip stick (log in and read it)
DIP stick end Tip to hot line, distance.?
34mm old style.
52mm new. (6.5 ilters) of ATFdry fill.
TSB waring of loose ground strap to tranny causing TCM togo nuts.
sure.
did you mix 4wd with 2wd ATF fluids (if opted)
2wd uses Dextron II or newer
4wd uses type T
im just reading the FSM. now.
in most cases all TCM made will set a DTC anytime it slips
The TCM has a RPM model for all loads.
input RPM over output RPM
if the RPMs are out of range, and it compensates for hills.(load)
then it trips a DTC, and glows the OD (flashes it)
if slippage is minor it may infact not trip, but will soon as you slowly burn up the clutch packs in the tranny.
id put the jumper clip in and drive and see if throws a DTC
wide open throttle up a hill. (max load will make it slip)
just once.
