2000 sport transmission problem
I have a 2000 montero sport, 4x4,aprox 125,000 miles. I will be driving along, and the trans will downshift on its own, does not matter how fast I am going. The neutral indicator and the drive indicator will flash alternately. the service engine light will come on. I can pull over and shut off the engine and start back up. It may be ok for a while after that, but will happen again sometime. also, once this happens the first time the service engine light will be on all the time. I have had it at the dealer for 6 weeks, they tried several things, but cannot find the problem. Finally gave up on them. I would really appreciate help

I have had the transmission fllushed and the fluid changed about a month or two before this started happening, I though about haveing it done again just to make sure the correct fluid was put in
I have never thought about the alt causing this, how do I find out if it is going bad?
And thanks for your replies

I mentioned that to the mechanic that has it now. He did say that he had a code for the speed sensor. He was going to change it and see what that did. He also mentioned he was getting a 3 digit code, 770. He said he did not know there were any 3 digit codes, and that he did not know what it was for

That flush would be the first thing I'd check. Wrong fluid means tranny rebuild time which is $$$$$$$$$$$.
I do the flush annually and make absolutely sure they put the correct stuff in my '90 AT.

RE: 2000 sport transmission problem
well, the speed sensor was changed, and I have been driving it around a little to test it out, of course the last time it took about a month before it acted up again. I need to take it on a trip to check it out. I will keep you all informed. In the mean time, thanks to all of you for your input
