Ok well I finally got enough of a break from work to get back to this issue. It also had started to act really funny when driving 45-55 mph. It would rev to 3500 rpm's and stop pulling, and I ould have to pull over for a minute or so and it would act ok for a few miles. I didn't know when the tranny had last been serviced like I had said before so I thought possibly the filter was clogging. I finally dropped the pan and it was surprisingly very clean, no shaving or clutch or band material. There was a date of 4/21/11 written on the bottom of the valve body. When I used to work as an R&R mechanic at the transmission shop I knew the rebuild mechanics would write the date of rebuild on the valve bodies sometimes. So i figured at the least it was serviced last April. I went ahead and changed the fluid and filter, but it still acted up really bad and stopped shifting all together. I finally tested the TS and VOILA!! I got a reading of 4.68V for the input but 0.00V for the output. Changed and adjusted the TPS yesterday and she now drives like a totally different vehicle. 100% improvment!!! I know from the tranny shop that the TPS can make the tranny act up, but I have never heard of it making it act up as bad as mine was. Thanks guys for all your help and input.
