What happens when downshift solenoid does not work?
If the downshift solenoid fails or has an issue, the vehicle may experience late shifting when slowing down. The transmission may stay engaged in a higher gear for an extended period of time when it should be downshifting. This will cause the engine to over rev, and may put additional unnecessary strain on the engine and transmission.
Why is my transmission not shifting into 3rd gear?
Also sometimes it will not shift into 3rd gear. Your first step should be to scan the computer for trouble codes. If the computer detects slippage in the transmission it will increase line pressure to maximum to try to stop the slip and protect the transmission. This results in a very firm shift.
Can a 85 AOD transmission shift out of first gear?

If the 1-2 shift valve is stuck, and will not stroke, the transmission will not shift out of first gear. I just put an 85 AOD transmission in a 1995 F150.
Why is my E4OD shifting all of a sudden?
Unplugging the connector will not fix the issue, the E4od is completely pcm controlled. The neutral safety switch has nothing to do with shift position. The most common cause of shifting issues is caused by a bad solenoid in the solenoid pack. The vss can also cause some of these issues also, replacing takes less than 5mins and like $20.

What causes a 4L60E to fail to downshift?
Failure to Downshift – The 4L60E will often fail to downshift if one or more of the shift solenoids are stuck open or closed. This is due to the fact that the transmission fluid cannot be rerouted to the part of the transmission that would be making the next move.
What happens when you shift from 2 to 3 in a Ford PowerStroke?
As the truck shifts from 2 to 3 , it seems like it half shifts and then hits third. The truck still feels like its in a gear (cant tell if the clutches are slipping) in the half shift… any thoughts?
