I have a '94 129 and have had a problem with the transmission not
properly downshifting. For example, when coasting to a red light and
approaching a stop, the light will turn green before actually stopping.
As the accelerator is applied, the transmission has not fully
downshifted into low and will SLAM back into the next higher gear. I
heard there is a service bulletin on this. Has anyone else experienced
this, and if so what did it take to fix it. The problem is very
intermittent, but disturbing to say the least. Any information or
advice would be appreciated.
