rflemin	My '98 Isuzu Trooper seems to stick in second when going over a bump. Loose/rusted control cable connection? If so, where? This happens when I slow down, go over a speed bump, then speed up. It also happens in a potholed alley. Sometimes I get it to shift if I slow down and slowly speed up. Or if I run the RPM up. Then it jerks into 3rd and, often, the check transmission light comes on. My OBD reader doesn't find any code and the light goes away if I turn off the engine. I've read somewhere that there is a control cable that is inadequately weather-sealed (after 15 years, lots of little rubber parts are going bad). Anybody know where that is? Also, several years ago the OEM transmission got stuck in second and I had a used one (not a rebuild) put in. I had the current transmission flushed last year and and the fluid level checked last month ($50 for AAMCO to tell me they couldn't find anything wrong). Thanks for any advice.
