SOURCE: when it goes uphill it cuts out and dies but

There isn't enough gas in the float bowl to cover the jets when the carburburator is tipped. If it's been rebuilt recently the float wasn't set right or if it hasn't been rebuilt, it's probably time because sediment is starting to build up in there. Hope thishelps.

Start with the simple and check your transmission fluid and then check your TPS (throttle position sensor) Check TPS for smooth and linear electrical response over the entire range of motion. If not, replace.

My 1992 bluebird school bus doesn't take overdrive

Hi, That sounds normal. You have to shift to a lower gear to go uphill.
When you also have lots of weight in the back. (students) shift to a lower gear. Good luck.

My car has trouble shifting uphill and in low gears

When a car is going uphill, it has to use more power to get up the hill. Most automatic transmission cars will automatically detect this, and shift into a lower gear to get the car up the hill easier. As you get to the top or let off the gas, the car should than shift into a higher gear to maximize fuel efficiency. What does your transmission seem to do? Not want to go into a lower gear, are the RPMs jumping up and down before it shifts?

RPM's

OK is around 2000 rpm cruising at 60mph (slightly more uphill) You should be at about 1700 going slower in high gear around town.
What you don't want to see is a "flair" when shifting, or rpm above 2500 at cruising speed except uphill. There are many things that influence rpm while driving...road conditions, uphill, downhill, tire size etc. but these numbers are a good "ballpark" reference. Your own experience with your car is the best baseline. If rpm is different than what you have gotten used to as "normal" you should have it checked out.

Loss of power uphills and shifting improperly.

It sounds very much like your clutch is slipping. If the engine revs continue to rise when in gear and the car does not increase it's speed accordingly then if it is a manual car then you need a new clutch.

My 1994 f250 transmission errors after going uphill!!

You are setting a trouble code on engine problems, have truck scanned to find error. Trans. will go into safe mode in this instance and this is why shifts hard.
