ISSUE:
Harsh or delayed shifts may occur at light or part throttle because a misrouted heater hose may interfere with the transaxle TV cable linkage
at the TV lever. This condition gives an incorrect throttle valve position reading to the shifting transmission.
ACTION:
Inspect the heater hose for proper routing and, if necessary, reroute it. Refer to the following service procedure.
